WHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)
- A% b, W" I, k0 H UWHAT: Water pump bearings.2 z9 ^8 R( Y/ {6 r! Z
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.

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.
; M/ o6 G- B) a4 a- uURGENCY: No big deal.% ]* j/ R; G. k/ d; o, c
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.1 \$ e' W$ K$ r5 A
