I noticed after I got my PS fluid flushed it started to whine and leak.. I took it back to who flushed and they said nothing was wrong just needed more fluid.. Fast forward to today, and I've changed the red O-ring, and the short hose that connects from the pump to the reservoir and its still getting too much air and causing all the fluid to come out.. should I replace the O-ring in the pump or just change the pump all together ?
My cars old... 2000 TL
Any advice ?

 

Move this thread to the proper 2G TL section. Hope this helps.

 

pump may need a rebuild. air's getting in somehow.

 

Hey thoiboi, while we're on the topic, I'm curious on your thoughts on something.
My PS pump doesn't really whine anymore since I flushed it but after first starting the car in the morning, the steering is really "jumpy" - it'll kind of move in "pulses" rather than a smooth motion. Almost like it's a lagging video game. This stops after I drive for a bit, always by the time I leave the parking deck. If I go to the store or something and get back into the car, it doesn't get cool enough to do that again.
Any ideas on what that might be? Is that a symptom of air leaking in as well? I'm not getting much - if any - bubbles in the tank anymore, so I'm not sure.

 

The primary symptom of air leaking into your system is a hydraulic buzzing noise at the pump. The P/S fluid reservoir will also have tiny bubbles in it.

 

Any ideas on buzzing, but no bubbles?
I'll grab a video of it next time I'm running the machine.
