I get an occasional squeak/whispy noise from the cambelt in damp/wet conditions. A quick squirt of wd-40 through the cambelt cover soon shuts it up for a couple of months.

Probably not the same noise as your though.

Just wondering if you have a leaky hydraulic valve lifter which would explain it's only occasional and for a couple of seconds until it's primed with oil again.
