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.+ B8 t# k7 |5 O( \4 `5 ]
FIX: You need a new pump.

WHAT: 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.
- O) u8 \' X# `) K# JURGENCY: No big deal.7 J! S9 f8 I% D5 v( h* ^" G
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.7 I. J: v6 h( Z& w& g4 d4 L

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
6 S1 ^' ?, O7 R; d" _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.7 _- y. K0 Y/ H9 k; [
FIX: Check belt tension and pulley alignment; replace the belt. |
