I've found a few threads on this but here's the specifics on mine. It's an 89 XR7 with about 160K on it. When it's idling you can hear some rattling in the SC. A couple times the idle dropped way down and it was more like knocking.
The pulley does have quite a bit of play in it and the seal looks like it's leaking. I can turn the thing about 45 degrees before anything connects inside the SC. That seems like quite a bit.
