Push the kick starter down slowly and you will be able to see if the water pump is gear driven or not.

Take a peace of wood doweling or big screw drive or long socket extension and put it tight to your ear and use it to listen to your motor. It sounds dumb but it's crazy how and what you can here. This way you can pin point where your noise is coming from.

I've owed a 06 and now a 10. They both had a whiny chip out of the engine. This was a yammie thing. But my noise changed with the clutch engaged or depressed in neutral. I was really concerned with it on the 06 and my dealer who I trust said not to worry. I ran it for 4 years without a major. Then sold it.
