Ok for about the last week when I leave my house first thing in the morning I have this slight squeeking noise from my drivers side front wheel area. It goes away by the time I get to the end of the block. It won't make the noise again till it sets over night. It can set all day here at work anf won't do it. So just wondering what to look for? I would think if it were a wheel bearing it wouldn't just do it for the first block of driving everyday, but I could be wrong

It's likely going to be either the brake pads getting low or a wheel bearing. Probably nothing else. Have you checked how much meat is on the pads??

Yeah the brake pads are still good. I don't actually have to be on the brakes to hear the noise it is there just rolling down the street, but by the time I apply my brakes at the corner and then take on off the noise is gone

Maybe a belt slipping. Also when my clutch was on it's way out it would squeal it's way out of first and second gear.
