Use a stethoscope or similar, plastic tube while blocking other ear with an ear plug for instance, and try to locate it.
Also, does it go away when the clutch is depressed, or engaged/released?
Could be something to do with the auxiliary drive belt, eg any of the pulleys/items driven by it, possibly also spigot bearing, although I'd feel the latter to be less likely.
A warped exhaust manifold whistling sounds a bit like a squeaky drive belt but that is not normally so noticeable, if at all, at tickover.
Best of luck.
