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.
7 s* M* @ U5 X/ M- l+ L; lURGENCY: No big deal.: E! h8 P5 _9 M2 b9 c# J9 g
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.5 n$ ]4 e8 m, ~( \! G8 Z

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