Scratching/Squeak Noise, Front Right, When Cold [Ambient]

So, I've developed a scratching squeak from the front right corner but only really there when it's colder ambient temps. Seems to fade as things heat up under the hood.
Clutch has no effect on it, but can force it with light on/off throttle at low speed. Seems to be related to force applied to the drivetrain.

Upper motor mount? CV?

My passenger side motor mount did that a few years ago. I used silicone lubricant in a tiny syringe to deliver the lubricant on top of, and under, the rubber bushing. It’s been quiet ever since. Just be super careful not to get any of the lubricant on the serpentine belt or the pulleys.
