yeah they have a seal on the shaft, and the weep hole lets the water leak before it gets to the bearings

good info.
look into the airpump, and alternator (with the belt off)
also make sure it not a turbo and you have oil in your engine

Newbern D how loud is the noise? Mine is very loud. If the noise coming from your engine was pretty loud maybe I've found the problem! Jt I have oil in my engine! If it's not the water pump bearing the only other thing it could be is a bad air pump connector coming from the engine. Anyone know where to get one of those from? Anyway great suggestions guys.

UPDATE: Car is fixed!! The problem was a bad check valve in the ACV. I hope this helps someone who has a simular problem. Besides the LOUD sqealing noise from the enginebay another sign is a little smoke in the enginebay after shut off and a wondering idle. Cheers
