WHEN: 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.

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.
# i# U5 ~/ z, s6 v% D/ M) K& sURGENCY: No big deal.
1 u" f8 b( n# ^( w: j: cFIX: 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.

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.5 ^) X* q/ S( O
