Squeak?

It's been raining for like two days do I didnt' drive my GS 400, then when I started her up, there was a squeaking noise from the engine. Could it possible be my serpentine belt?

could be belt or the tensioner pulley bearing. if it goes away after 30 seconds or so, it's probably the belt.

how many miles?

malraymal have you done your timing belt yet?
you know it's due at 90 right, if so, i think they would have changed all that when serviced or atleast metion to you that it needed service.
