I noticed a noise coming from the L Series the other day when the Mrs went out. You can't hear it from inside. I noticed it again yesterday, so thought I'd investigate today.
Its definitely coming from the timing/aux belt end of the engine and sounds like a bearing on the way out. I'm thinking its probably the water pump, but possibly the tensioner or something. The aux belt is fine, no signs of damage and tight. Haven't inspected the timing belt.
Does anybody recon they can identify it from this video....

The sound is much more noticeable on the video, I didn't think it would come out when I recorded it, but its has. As has the droning thump-thump-thump of the L Series
