1 O5 Z7 S" b, m2 |* VWHERE: Front of the car.8 g0 \6 C7 ^% J% I% o. Y2 A
WHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)2 I0 B6 B% A" h2 O. j
WHAT: Water pump bearings.6 h! Y1 i) y, \% p/ J* w L
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.
* S, T1 D2 e& y2 D- _' z8 T7 l2 yFIX: You need a new pump.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.6 G) e0 Z; l3 m/ s) V* V# W8 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.
0 K/ {+ E+ S8 f8 v4 W: k3 J6 tURGENCY: No big deal.: R' N& A5 C! t+ Y
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 ]; Q# q" ]/ t+ R4 m) U( O) B

WHEN: Right after start-up until you rev the throttle a couple of times and the rubber warms up.% J# S* Y0 A, p6 g5 s
WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
