i just had my mechanic work my engine (skimming cylinder head, changed head gasket...etc) and now there's a weird hissing/grinding noise coming from the engine (like two soft metal plates grinding against each other), i changed the oil and the noise still won't go, and bit later after changing the oil i noticed the car slightly overheating from the temp gauge, i parked it and looked under the car to notice a small pool of coolant (it appears to be coming from the engine not the radiator), but the coolant level is around the MIN mark so it's not empty. is it a failed water pump?
it's a FIAT Palio 1.3 FIRE (a **** car).
