Intermittant engine vibration driving me crazy!!

I notice it when at a stop light or in park. It feels like alow frequency, intermittant droning vibration, and I can't figure out what the hell it is. I'm thinking it might be the power steering pump, 'cause sometimes when it happens, if I hit the brakes it goes away and when I let off, it comes back. I'm also thinking it cold be the tranny, but I had it rebuilt only 30k ago. Im looking for any suggestions here!!

If stepping on the brake pedal effects the noise that you are chasing that narrows it down to that system. Power steering pump, (fluid level ok?), steering box, and/or brake booster.

Dan, I'm thinking the same thing. I forgot to add she's rolling on 182,000 miles, but I don't know what kinda life expectancy to get out of the PS put and/or associated parts. Bob, I really hope it's just a exhaust pipe though. I'll have to get a long piece of tube to use as a stethiscope and listen around.
