Sharp, staccato noise coming from front of engine...
I drove my car for the first time in a LONG time earlier, and I'd left it running in the driveway while I cleaned out some leaves in the garage. I immediately noticed this fairly loud noise, that at first I thought was a slight exhaust leak but after I opened up the hood, it was louder. I typically use a hard wooden dowel of some sort to listen to things like this and have kind of isolated it to the alternator/water pump area. The noise is loudest when I put the dowel on top of the water fill cap. I'm going to tear into it later this weeked, my first thought is a bearing in one of the above, but man...that water pump only has about 10,000 miles on it. The alternator is stock.
Any ideas?
