Question : svchost.exe using 100% of CPU

I'm having an issue with svchost.exe eating up 100% of the cpu. This is happening on every machine on the network. It does this about every hour or so. the services that this process is responsible for are:

Automatic Updates - We run WSUS here - Domain members are set to check in every 15 minutes or so
BITS
COM+
Computer Browser
Cryptographic Services
DHCP Client
Dist. Link tracking Client
Error Reporting Service
Help and Support
Logical Disk Manager
Network Connections
NLA
Remote Access Connection Manager
Secondary Logon
Security Center
Server
Shell Hardware Detection
System Event Notification
System Restore Service
Task Scheduler
Telephony
Themes
Windows Audio
Firewall
WMI
Time
Wireless
Workstation

Is there a way to narrow down which one of these services is causing the issue? Also once I do find out what's causing it, what steps can I take? I have a sneaking suspicion that Windows update might be the culprit and it's the reporting to the WSUS that is eating the CPU, but it's a total guess. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
