An easy way to identify the culprit is to get a length of pipe from

like a stethoscope. Hold one end next to your ear and touch the other
end to various engine components until you find the point where it is
the loudest -- that is your suspect part. Keep it away from the fan

The noise is can only be noticed around 1000rpm (like when idling
when cold) and goes away in higher rpms.
Today I removed the intake cover and recorded this video..

Also .. give a good think to draining out the old brake fluid down the

ever specs call for.
The old fluid has dirt, rust, that keeps getting plowed into the
