Run "du -h /" on your sda3 and skim over the output. Watch out for
directory trees that contain many GB. Is that usage expected?
Especially examine /var. Try to find any runtime files (e.g. in cache
directories other than Yum's) where you may want to clean up manually.

An old-school way is to use a so-called "bind mount", i.e. mount a
_directory_ stored on another partition on /var/cache/yum. In /etc/fstab
an entry for that could be added, too. Example:

  /home/storage/yumcache   /var/cache/yum    auto   bind   0 0

Since your /home dir has enough free space. ;)
Don't forget to remove stuff in /var/cache/yum prior to mounting.
