WHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)

2 z* \- q' i, 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.1 |9 d- d: E, s9 O

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
. k+ i5 ?3 b8 R2 B- HWHAT: 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.
- E# B' j3 S' A4 cURGENCY: No big deal.9 [) L5 w2 P- a L! r
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.

3 _5 m" W; n8 U% RFIX: Check belt tension and pulley alignment; replace the belt. |
