What causes a 1997 Chevy Lumina to whine near the alternator area is it the alternator or power steering or something else on the serpentine belt area?

more than likely it's your alternator that is slowly but surely going out,or it could be your serpentine belt making the noise because it isn't tight enough around all the drive wheels.hope this helps.bye It can also be your Power Steering. Check your tensioner, alternator. Check for small leaks around your PS res. Small leak, low fluid and your PS will cause a slight wine. Alot of variables you need to check
