    Water pump bearing? Remove fan belt a try then.

    Alternator bearing? As above.

    Clutch thrust bearing? Dip the cluch and see if it still there.

    A long shot but remove the vac pipe going to the block breather box, put your finger over the hole in the end of pipe while it's running see what happens.
