I've got a really strange problem that I think is the fan clutch, mainly because I've heard it for the last 2 winters clicking like crazy when it's really cold. Now I smell something occasionally that smells like a burnt clutch or disk brake in the engine compartment but it's very faint.

There is something that sounds like almost a grumbling noise from the motor. I figured it can be a worn out fan, but I'm fearing it might be a water pump or worse.

I've posted two videos of the sounds.

whirring:

strange noise at ~34 secs - you can really hear the grumbling as well b/c of the air flow from the fan.

Any help troubleshooting would be great!
