Car Noises II

Without missing a beat, the car went to see the mechanic, and he did find the water pump leaking.  It was an aftermarket water pump from the timing belt replacement only 3 years ago.  Let's hope it resolved it.  If we let the water pump deteriorate, the engine could overheat, even if you keep topping the coolant up, it could still catastrophically fail and the result could be bad.  So it is good to have found it early.
