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.

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.. \- Y) I( [8 ^5 a; S
URGENCY: No big deal.2 \$ Y' Z4 Y7 r% I
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.5 t6 D4 M/ K/ w/ Z3 _; @' [8 ^# J
