WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
, R% S6 e! e" [0 ZWHAT: 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.4 M6 S+ K; @" p8 X1 k% T
URGENCY: No big deal.$ `8 G8 }3 u5 [5 F
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.
