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.

- Z% H9 H5 T0 O0 u* a( ^. b, e, ]WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.3 y7 h/ F) ^6 X3 g9 \
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.
" i/ J2 t; d1 [2 h9 ?URGENCY: No big deal.2 w, Q% g1 `( ^( ~. S# H
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.% v. E8 C9 t" `2 ^1 K

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. S- }8 H- i5 E# [/ T) @5 V( F+ x
