is it normal to hear the powersteering from inside the car i never heard it before and i noticed that the fluid was low so i toped it up but now its low again i searched for leaks bur couldn't find any. Anyone know what the deal is or had this problem?

 

you have a leak- find it
look at back of ps pump for leak at orings and feel the hoses and hose ends for fluid
ck rubber end caps on steering rack- peel back and look for fluid- should be none there or rack seals have blown
Have friend turn wheels back and forth with engine running so you can observe under load

 

if you hear the steering inside the car the pump is whining- from bad bearing or low flud (which leads to bad bearing)

try a search on here for `steering pump` in the prob and fixes section

 

I would get this fixed ASAP. The PS pump is just waiting to fail.

Find the leak, it's probably a very slow one. Check for built up dirt and grime, it where the fluid probably leaks.

 

Alright i'll get on this tomorrow thx guys

 

Ok so I found the leak it's on the drivers side I don't know what it's call but it connects to the firewall and the tie rod connects to it it's leaking at the to will this be a big job to fix?

 

I thought the PS was in the passngr side.

 

the pump is on the passenger side. I just found out what this thing is called its the steering rack its leaking at the top is there a seal there that i could just change or do i have to change the hole thing?

 

can i just change the boots or do i need to change the hole rack
