process of elimination run engine with belt off. If whine goes away then it's steering pump,alternator, water pump comp.or idler pulley. Turn each by hand slow and listen. That's how I found my alternator noisy on my 90 3.1. If she still whines with belt off than you can start looking at engine. Leaky manifold sucking air maybe. If it only whines while driving then you go to your tranny. I can make my whine like crazy in 2nd gear. Let us know who the culprit was, good luck.
