WHAT: Water pump bearings.& R3 X" ~* B, k7 f1 P
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.7 [+ B4 ]5 P/ p5 W$ A
FIX: You need a new pump.

WHEN: Whenever you rotate the steering wheel all the way to the left or right steering stop and hold it there.9 m. F3 H7 O. Z/ z$ M4 S& p% x0 w
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.& |2 Q F$ F$ J/ @$ d( l; z
URGENCY: No big deal.. c; O$ X ]4 w7 m( t( R7 G3 R# l7 }. q/ P
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.

WHAT: Belt squeal. A loose or glazed belt, bad tensioner or misaligned pulley.
