How's your coolant reservoir? Are you loosing fluid? My 9-3 started loosing fluid slowly and I was thinking along the same lines as you. My water pump was finally starting to weep, it's original. After a day or two I realized that I was getting a small puddle forming on the drivers side at the very front of the car. Figured I'd check all the hoses and give it a good inspection when I changed the oil during the upcoming weekend. A couple days later I was pulling into the garage and all the coolant drained out of the car. After having it towed to my indy he found a 2" hole had blown out on the side of the radiator near the radiator inlet.
Hope you find its just a leaking hose, but I found other posts reporting problems with the plastic sides leaking on the radiator.
