WHAT: Water pump bearings.
, h; H8 n# L4 MURGENCY: 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.

- ?' a4 O6 ?1 H) W- DWHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
7 C7 g9 X6 P N; 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.
* |% x4 @7 ], s8 j3 f) UURGENCY: No big deal.1 T2 i) f2 Q) a0 { L7 m
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.
