Grinding noise coming from power steering pump
I just purchased a 2000 Formula about a week ago. I started noticing a grinding noise coming from the power steering pump. (i think this is where it is coming from) When i opened the hood i saw powersteering fluid was somehow leaking out and was in the engine bay. I checked the fluid and it was full.
I dont know if the previous owner added the fluid right before i purchased the car or what... I am guessing the previous owner let the pump run dry and it was damaged. The car seems to steer perfectly. The constant grinding noise is very noticeable. I would appreciate any help...
