Thanks for rebuilding your car and having so many issues.  You keep this 
list going. :-)

Grab the radiator blade and move it to and fro.  If there's movement, 
and I suspect there is, yep, it's your waterpump.  This starts before it 
begins to leak.  By the time it's leaking, it's really getting bad.  
Expensive!  $150 or so from Nissan.
