Mine only started clicking after my dealer replaced it (those basterds!) and water pumps are a pain to change because you have to pull all the other belts off first. I personaly would let the dealer do it, that is if you trust your dealer because I don't anymore!
Spun conrod bolts, and if that's it then it's time for an engine rebuild. The common symptoms are a clicking sound from the engine compartment. As it gets worse the clicking sounds vibrates on the clutch pedal. The clicking, if indeed this is the problem, is the connecting rods slapping up and down on the crankshaft. Very bad news if this is it. It has already plagued several memebers here, including myself.

Skrilla is this a constant clicking sound or is it an on/off kind of clicking. I took the car back to the dealer that "fixed it" and they have no idea what it is! I went to another dealer and they told me to fix my radiator first because the coolent could be deteriorating my belts causing the noise.
P.S. mine started clicking AFTER they replaced my water pump.
Spun bearing would be a constand sound especially at idle and low rpm where oil pressure is low. If it only happens when you are moving, you could have a bad CV joint.

They just had replaced it and after the races they found teh washer on the water pump had broke and it was making a metal on metal sound when idleing. sounded a lot worse than it was. Wyatt Leras http://www.turbogs.com 98 Eclipse GS Star Stage 5,000 Turbo kit

as long as the noise doesn't get louder as the rpm increases you don't have anything to really worry about. I know the sound your talking about it's coming from somewhere around the condenser. Any kind of knock would sound like it's right on top of the engine and would get louder as the engine revs, and sounds more like a rattle than a constant click, click,click...

Wait... top on the motor passenger side? wahat about the A/C condenser clutch, if it's loose or isn't working if won't completely disenegae and engage etc and it rattles. see if that's it.

My clicking sound is erratic, Sometimes it will click silently other times it drives me nutts! I still havent had a chance to go to the dealer about it after I replaced my radiator. It sounds like metal to metal so I'm worried.

mine does it when i first start the car and its at idle. doesnt seem to do it much after its warmed up. i dont think its any thing to worry about as long as you cant hear it when reving. my sisters seabring lxi has been making the same sound for the last 40k miles. im assuming its the same problem even with a diff engine.
