Another Power Steering Thread

Hey guys, having some problems with my car lately. Power steering pump started to whine again, did the o-ring fix and fluid flush then the problem went away. This was last week. Today, I went to start it up after its been like 4 degrees outside and all I hear is the power steering pump grinding/whining. Okay cool, usually it goes away after a minute or two of warming up, but it didn't this time. Pop open the reservoir and the fluid is frozen. Upon visual inspection didn't see any leaks on any of the hoses. Air is obviously getting into it somehow. You guys think its one of the lines or is my rack on its way out? Thanks for the help.

Never had that happen up here, even in -26F temperatures. Were you using Honda or Honda certified PSF?
