2 H7 R+ s2 q; u% sURGENCY: 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.# L' Y, s+ d2 ~5 j

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
* z: e) t( n6 N6 C O9 T* a/ SWHAT: 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.! x2 ]& d1 N3 o: ?- t1 R, K& e" t
URGENCY: No big deal./ o" q$ L6 s3 c. p) e; E
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.7 S6 g# u8 @0 X4 D

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.
