So I get this occasional whine when turning slowly left or right.

Popped the hood....checked the PS fluid and saw no bubbling.

I haven't checked the o-ring yet but will order the new orange one first and check.

This happened to my previous 08 base auto and all they noticed was that the ps level was low and filled it a bit.

Here is a pic of my fluid level in the 08 TLs MT. Does level look about right?

 

It is low a bit.
