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.6 m6 _6 j% u0 b$ x2 F

7 E3 o2 a- S |. i& c: iWHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
0 V& _& i( R: 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.
) Z' }- l3 ]4 Y$ V; n( p4 rURGENCY: No big deal.4 k: j' C l( ?9 T0 E' D
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.

URGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.9 [2 }3 e* |4 A1 u7 v* m
FIX: Check belt tension and pulley alignment; replace the belt. |
