Default Storing car tomorrow, belt noise today!

I'm putting my car in storage over the summer and today the timing belt (im pretty sure) starts making a medium loud belt noise. The main focus of the sound is just under the timing belt cover in the front of the engine on the drivers side. Could this be my water pump? Or is a a t belt thing? I also sneaked a peak inside the belt cover, since the dealership left a bolt off, and it looks like the pulley just under the cover where I'm talking about is unbalenced or shakey?

Big question, what do you think is wrong?

Bigger question, after I store it for three months am I gonna turn it on and have a belt break or a pulley seize? What can happen to broken things if you let them sit?

Im storing it tomorrow morning so please help, thanks.

Default more explanation of noise. Does it change with RPM increase/decrease?

If it does, then it's something attached to the aux belt.

If it sounds like marbles bouncing around, it's the water pump.

If it sounds like groaning, it's the barely alive hooker in your trunk
