( a- u) v7 R% H+ EURGENCY: 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.
z: ~( m, J# U, D/ w& y) iWHAT: 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.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
2 Y( j1 N$ V/ `6 TURGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.
