WHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)
; I, N0 V! y4 g: `& p( fWHAT: Water pump bearings.
# z. y7 G0 `) M" m8 v) N+ iURGENCY: 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.& m. k# [9 t: C @2 R
URGENCY: No big deal.
7 ~6 @5 [+ A% d" z4 \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.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.0 @* b+ j" w! y
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.. @; Q0 R" I6 n0 B# |, V
