WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
i8 f7 M o8 f+ O! H0 k. dWHAT: 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 s; G: d6 k& s4 ?URGENCY: No big deal.: p# e" r4 N/ Q& u X* \
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.
