[WORKING] Need help identifying this engine bay noise...

[TiN]

For some reason, something in my other post caused it to be un-openable and it decided to post twice in the process. Those can be removed if any mod sees this.

Anyways, I've been getting an odd engine noise occasionally over the last few months. It's kind of like a washing sound; a rhythmic "slosh". I assume it might have something to do with the water pump, but I'm not sure because I've never actually heard a bad water pump. Take a listen and let me know what you think:

Does it sound anything like this? http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-g...t-belt-wp-change-04-4-7-112k-video-sound.html

I posted this a few days ago here with no response. Funny you mentioned a WP, I JUST had mine replaced.

I hear what you're talking about. From what I can tell, it sounds a little different than mine; yours sounds more hollow like you mentioned.
