Hmmm, thought you had replied that the engine was free? 

Anyway, there is a drain hole in the bottom of the cast alum fan 
housing. This sometimes gets plugged up and will collect water. I 
can't remember whether there is a drain hole in the bottom of the 
steel pulley housing. It's worth checking both and clearing them out.

This is a good thing for each of us to check occasionally.
