WHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)
9 O1 M! x. U: |( z( F) eWHAT: Water pump bearings.
H- O3 J8 i5 e) d" p6 M5 cURGENCY: When the bearings fail completely, the fan will pull forward and slice a nice big smile-shaped chunk out of the radiator, making it leak profusely.

WHERE: Under the hood.
& I% L. U7 R$ z" UWHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
$ b% q9 [3 C2 G D) wWHAT: The pressure relief valve inside the pump is dumping excess power-steering hydraulic fluid back into the reservoir. It's supposed to do that, although maybe a little more quietly.3 I- M9 h$ N" B7 Q$ y3 D6 S
URGENCY: No big deal.
2 r5 P: R" z* @2 b |FIX: It's normal. Actually, you should check the level of power steering fluid in the pump. Don't hold the wheel hard on the stop like that; it annoys pedestrians and is tough on the belt.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.) t3 d; d5 j; b& F9 R7 |
URGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.
