WHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)
5 @" J+ T% N3 B4 |9 u( JWHAT: Water pump bearings.
, ] z$ V1 ~$ r- T( Y J( VURGENCY: 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! V. Z$ ?; |" d# Y( ~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., |3 J7 B/ z f+ L
URGENCY: No big deal.2 {8 L& b2 H+ b( Z- U" 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.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
6 [) z) |+ k3 w m0 vURGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.
