strange squeeking sound coming from crankset

Hey guys I have a fsa gossamer crank that has about 400 miles on it. and now when i have the bike in the repair stand or when im riding it it makes a strange squeaking sound. I cant tell what it is. i dont think its coming from the pinch bolt because it does it when i spin it over in the stand with no load on it also. (but only when i spin the pedals forwards) all I can think that it is. is that my bike shop told me that i was missing the little fiber shims that go between the crank arm and the bearing face on the non drive side. or possibly my cups are coming lose? idk unfortunately i dont have a mega exo cup tool. so i will have to take it down the the bike shop and have them torque it. but I wanted to ask you guys first and see if anyone had any idea because its really annoying to hear this squeak once every pedal stroke. and it think it makes me look like a bigger fred than i already am. lol

THANKS GUYS
Sean Scott
