It could be Busy, although diesel's vacuums are different also.
I have yet to really crack the CD. I'm sort of looking for direction as to where to start, or maybe more hoping that someone knows exactly what it should be from the symptoms.

I like the mice notion though, I have cats and pigeons at work and any number of critters at home to suspect. As yet I have not done a thorough inspection. I suppose I'll just take off the air cleaner, look around, and then check the CD.
