Take the belt off and turn pump by hand. You feel grinding, stiff spots or such you are best to replace the pump. Corvettes are wonderfull, but they just do not fix themselves, they love our attention, and our wallets. Enjoy the Ride

Mine started making bad noises so i sprayed lithium grease in the holes in back. It cured it for awhile, but when it returned i pulled the pump and built an eliminator bracket to replace it. The pump is available from what iv'e read.
Where are you located
