WHERE: Front of the car.
# A) D# `+ T2 ~% p+ Q, vWHEN: At idle. (Check for weeping coolant at the bottom of the water pump, too.)

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.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.' D& t0 d8 T! B) L
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.; W2 s# M, @3 r# v' V" R
URGENCY: No big deal.
0 V+ {7 r0 q \0 ?! g" c9 l/ eFIX: 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.$ e) n" y$ d4 h* ?+ W

; f# A8 n% ?4 ^( ~5 i! IWHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
