I think it's getting louder...

[Gross Scruggs <GScruggs@wposmtp.nps.navy.mil>]

the rattling noise at the front and top of the engine, I mean.  Maybe I'm just
listening for it now.  Been thinking it's the hydro pump but am beginning to
wonder if it is the water pump making all the noise.  Looked in the archives and
found few occurances of water pump failures and no mention of failure being
preceeded by such an aural announcement.  (It is possible that I need practice
using the search engine...)  

I rebuilt the hydro pump a few months ago which stopped the overflow problem in
the reservoir, but now it leaks a bit.  Coolant temperatures are well behaved. 
Anyone out there illuminate me on what I'm likely up against?
