Power Steering....help alright so my power steering has been out for about a week or so...I thought that the pump was bad so i went to advance auto and bought a new one...cost me about 60 bucks or so. I havent installed it yet because im not fully convinced that my PS pump is dead yet. Because I got in my car yesterday and drove it out of the driveway and was amazed that i had powersteering. I contunued to drive for about 30 minutes and all of which i had power steering. I have checked all fluids in the reservior, and the are full. I can not understand y i have power when my car first starts, and then later loose steering. Is it a leak? (which i have pretty much ruled out) or is it a issue of the steering pump fluid temperature? HELP PLEASE

Is there a check engine light that comes on when you start up the car or does it come on when your power steering goes out? If it is one of those, then a simple diagnostics machine may be able to solve it. But yeah I wouldn't install the pump just yet, but if you do decide to put it on and it doesn't help it, at least you won't have to change one in the near future
