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.

* M) n i1 G" T1 q* X" M7 ~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.
7 H* b# _, [- r" ?! W. G9 hURGENCY: No big deal.
* @) z: g+ l5 b" p3 D- BFIX: 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.6 W r2 I8 U, f1 d1 z
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.
9 F3 y B2 j. j- eFIX: Check belt tension and pulley alignment; replace the belt. |
