6 @) P0 t. [5 J" B4 O/ _WHAT: 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.$ k/ X- W4 t( W$ I# C7 O
URGENCY: No big deal.; {! {& o: y2 _: A& S
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.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.1 O K/ G+ T' |* A; E
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.
8 O P/ Q0 V7 f- N/ oFIX: Check belt tension and pulley alignment; replace the belt. |
