URGENCY: 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.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
" s/ t* T7 J, R6 A7 A9 o/ |/ qWHAT: 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.
$ N r' |9 a/ @0 w5 E, DURGENCY: No big deal.) g* Y% Y' w1 E2 v/ h+ k& S
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.. y( _9 P0 f+ [8 i |: S8 V4 H

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.6 x3 f& s6 `2 [5 }; k% z6 S
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.
