Yep.

It could be just a hose or a pipe that needs tightening or replacement. Why be nice though when you can charge parts and labour for fitting a new pump whether you fit or need one or not?

but I never noticed a leak until last night. And I never told the guys about it when I took it in. They just topped up the fluid. I didnt stay for them to look at the car.

Weird how? they mentioned the pump when I called to make an appt when the sound started again since topping up with fluid obviously didnt fix the problem. Now with the leak on the floor it is obvious it is something more.

The fluid probably leaked out. Don't you know anyone who could top it up again with power steering fluid so that you can drive to have it fixed?

Re: Grinding sound from power steering column


I can do that myself. I just need to go to Canadian Tire or somewhere to pick it up. I work from home and I didnt need to leave the house today, so I can do that tomorrow and top it up til I take it in. Like I mentioned, I didnt notice the leak until last night when I was coming into the garage.

Re: Grinding sound from power steering column

curious as well...

one of my old 6rs bmw's (early 80s model) tend to make a groaning noise when the steering pump fluid is low or if there's a problem with the steering itself

surprised she continued driving her car as steering pump problems can be an harbinger to motor burn out.
