Yea, changed oil about a month ago. Oil level is between low and high.
Good idea on the side by side check. Maybe in the next meet I'll check with one of you guys

I dont know if I would worry to to much about it. One way to tell is if you have a automotive stethoscope you would be able to pinpoint the noise much easier. Alternatively if you have one of those infrared temp gauges and you can get it on the pulley you could look to see if any extra heat is coming off the bearing in question.

Hmm don't have neither of those.

I added half a litre oil now it's reading high on oil stick but sound is still there. It's nothing I hope
