Could this be the cause of my engine noise........
Good morning all,
I decided to get under the JK and check the steering system to discover this lovely green mess, I have recently washed down the engine bay so I know its quite fresh.
Could this be the cause of my engine whine? I had suspected the PS pump but the noise in no way is affected by steering.
Also judging by the residue my anti freeze ratio is way to high, looks like I shall be doing pump, thermostat, belt and idlers asap any tips on where to shop are greatly appreciated.
Yea as I thought, I will record the whining sound and upload it soon, looks as though my coolant is very thick with antifreeze so now doubt that is a contributing factor.
Is there a place to get belt, pulleys, thermostat and pump from at a good price?
Wooders had the listed on an old thread on here (2 years ago) for $150 but they are not coming up properly on their website at the moment. But that gives you an idea at least anyway.

I just drained 3L of fluid from the system and replaced it with water as I did not like the ratio, on a positive note the fluid is immaculate that is currently in there, last changed in Feb.
