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

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.

( {" [& o0 J6 e$ V2 B5 W, P# PWHAT: 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.$ d) u% z7 H: U. c4 Q) `5 S
URGENCY: No big deal.9 G' C* \6 j8 K4 ]1 m
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.

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.
