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

0 G+ s6 I9 h; U# QURGENCY: 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.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.
) y4 A+ y4 G1 b5 t1 X8 [# 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.
0 p/ o" t6 j* CURGENCY: No big deal.9 g# @0 s4 t5 k' F0 M7 F
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.

WHEN: Right after start-up until you rev the throttle a couple of times and the rubber warms up.
