I saw a guy almost get impaled with a screw driver getting caught it a belt
once, very dangerous!! I found a piece of rubber hose works just as well for
sound transfer down the opened tube, plus being flexible it wont get caught
and drive back into an eye, etc. I guess the main trick is being extra
careful, what ever you use.

I actually get better sound transfer placing the end of the screwdriver
against the the bone immediately behind my ear.  My hearing is pretty funky,
so this may or may not be the case for you.

|Take loooong screwdriver, place the pointy end against water
|pump housing and put the handle firmly against your ear
|opening.  It will look and feel strange, but it will transmit
|noises directly from the housing. Then you can have a little
|more fun and try other areas of the engine block.
|
|You can also remove the drive belts and start it up to quickly
|see if water pump, alternator or AC compressor, if present,
|are the culprit.
