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.
+ T" d, A# h' lWHAT: 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.
7 J4 D8 o0 |+ s: t5 TURGENCY: No big deal.& r# |$ i# o9 a
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./ V% \* ^" X, X$ {

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
