Default Squealing sound?
I turned my truck on today and heard a squealing sound that sounded like a belt.. Popped the hood and I saw that the hose leading to my air compresser was soaked.. What is wrong?

When mine started squealing I thought it was the compressor also but it was actually the fan clutch, best way to check it is with a stethoscope

Talked to a mechanic on the phone and he said the hoses are supposed to be wet sometimes.. So what can be the squealing? Belt? Pulley?

You can spray water on it to change the pitch of the noise.
