Default winding noise

my alternator was bad. I had all the normal signs of a bad alternator heat wouldnt blow out good unless i was giving it gas lights were dim all that stuff....been like that probably 2 week. then i started hearing a pretty high pitched winding noise that got worse when i gave it gas. figured that too was the alternator. well i just changed it and the elec problems are all gone but i still have that noise. maybe 6 months ago i put in a idle pully so i do thing thats it. im thinkin its the a/c but a/c is blowing cold and the noise doesnt change when i turn on/off a/c. any ideas?

Look at your water pump. There is a small port on the bottom that leaks a little antifreeze when they go bad (Most of the time ).
