I have a slight clicking sound coming from the front of my engine and to me it sounds like plastic blades scraping metal. Now I'm kinda biased as my water pump is 40k miles old and slightly leaks...

Couple questions for compression/leak down tests

I'm about to do my first DIY compression and leak down tests - can't find a write-up specifically for our car so a few questions.

Increased oil consumption

My car has always burned oil for the 40k miles I've owned it. Usually around 1 quart per 5k miles. However around 5k miles ago this has increased to 2-3 quarts and seems I'm topping it off way too...
