WHAT: Water pump bearings.' X, _$ D$ g+ Y+ v
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.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.8 N5 d, N( U/ u0 k7 _* G% F
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.
& }6 d3 Z8 {; o2 Y( _# GURGENCY: No big deal.- \: r, ^* s" d4 D- N4 T" q
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.
