I have power steering fluid backing out of the bottle and the pump is making a squealing noise. Sounds like the bearings, Can i just replace the bearings or does it sound like the pump went bad.

thanks in advance

 

Sounds like a bunch of air is trapped. Try bleeding that puppy.

I found a huge slice in the hose that comes from the pump to the reserve. 15$ and it will be here tomorrow.

 

 

I would not have looked for where the air was coming from if u had not told me to bleed the system.

 

Haha. Well I'm glad you solved your problem!
