Not a sage, have grey hair does that count as wise, but I don;t sit on a branch at night going ' hoot, hoot'
now the experts will say don;t drive it its this and that and buy a new pump blah blah
My disclaimer , I am not an expert!! but have a TDI and many other cars in the past.
you could
try using the backyard spanner spinners stethoscope,
a long bladed screwdriver
( I use the big blue handled stanley one with the square shaft)
the blunt end on your ear and the pointy end on the suspect object, ( while the motor is going of course)
and listen that should tell you if its coming from there,
Time to destruction is anybodies guess i suppose.
I guess you could try sqirting heaps of crc or whatever you use up the front with the chance it may penetrate into the bearing, or even locate the drain hole and try squirting through there,
just a couple of 'backyard ideas' they may help.
