Default Slight bearing noise when clutch out in neutral during cold start up???

After some more snow here in Mich I started up my car after sitting outside for the week and noticed a slight whrrrr kinda bearing noise that went up and down with engine speed and with the clutch out in neutral. It would immediately go away if I pressed the clutch in. It went away after the car warmed up but it has been colder outside before and regardless I dont thing a bearing should make any noise. I have had that "vibration on deceleration" problem on my car and wonder if it could be related?
My coolant light also came on and started flashing-not that its related-but that went away after shutting down and re-starting.
Any thoughts on the bearing noise though???
Another problem that will be hard to duplicate for the dealer.
27k on the car.

How cold is it, and are you running synthetic in the tranny?

Default Its possible the gear oil is getting too thick from the cold...>>

the bearing may be getting the brunt of it..does it go away after it warms up?

Default Mine does it too.

I am running RedLine fluids. My opinion is that RedLine isn't the best for cold weather.
