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.

' y, i }/ ^2 F7 Q0 B# ~. U9 T9 [) |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.( [* T% H8 j0 s* i* A
URGENCY: No big deal.
