Default spun bearing?

So just got my leaks fixed and was driving today and all of a sudden i hear this wveeeeeeew and and now a constant squeaking sound. it sounds like its coming from the flywheel area (where it just so happens i just put the inspection plate on). there doesnt seem to be any performance issues or anything else leaking

Are you sure it isn't your belt squeaking? Doesn't sound like a spun bearing to me.

If it happens again consider a small amount of thread lock, nothing too strong, though.

yea bad **** and strange stuff happens all the time, just last weekend my brother lost both of his caliper bolts and the caliper came off seat and put a big grove in the wheel. how these bolts fell out i have no freaking clue, but as an easy fix we removed the top one off the passenger side and put in on the lower hole drivers sied. got two new bolts the next day. it was the strangest thing??????
