The quick test is to remove the drive belt (serpentine) and test run the engine briefly. Briefly because you will not have a water pump, so no engine cooling. No noise? You found your culprit. It's not very expensive and not too hard to change (except for having to remove the inner fender liner to get at it). -Fred W
