WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
* t3 q' {8 e4 Y4 u0 O1 x9 E y1 R: UWHAT: 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.

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.
