High in the engine compartment, could be cam bearings, water pump, idler pulley.

Low in the engine compartment, could be oil pump, front main (not likely), idler pulley.

Those are the worst culprits... could also just be a misaligned accessory belt. Try some belt dressing or silicone lubricant on the accessory belt and report back?
