WHERE: Front of the car.. h. T b: T. `5 W
WHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)
* |( P, h: B9 y6 w8 }' Z, GWHAT: Water pump bearings.
! h( `9 @1 T. yURGENCY: 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.* ~& F3 Z/ o* Z0 t

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
7 q$ n. m" B$ x) ^/ g: m( cWHAT: 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., ^+ A/ | j1 l* [/ B, O
URGENCY: No big deal.
' z0 d& c7 Q" P& x% j$ I$ l# w% VFIX: 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.% g. ~' p* I {+ U3 Z, K' Z0 q5 b5 @

WHEN: Right after start-up until you rev the throttle a couple of times and the rubber warms up.
! E( b" `% C% T7 @WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
4 G+ I4 C# i6 Z) W f: l; sURGENCY: Make an appointment, and don't take a long trip. This won't go away on its own--until just before the belt fails.
