Driveline making some noise when cold

I get some noises coming from the driveline when k first get going with the car - up to about 15-20km per hr.

It's mostly howling type sounds - but once I get going and start going faster they go away - and when the car is warmed up and I go those speeds I don't hear anything...

Thoughts? Is this the bevel gear starting to die?

The howling sounds could be coming from the driveline. On my '97 85 GLT (~180k miles) the howling sound comes from the oil thermostat when the engine oil is cold.

Bren..I would guess oil thermostat, which you can safely ignore.
