whining
whining Ive been getting this whining noise coming from my TA when I turn the steering wheel. It happens everytime and in either direction.
I check the level of the power steering fluid. Before I could though, I first had to clean off alot of gunk from the cap before opening. I noticed pretty much all around the area has this mess.
Anyway the fluid level was low and I put enough to fill to the cold mark since car had not been started all day.
I then to make sure no air was in the sytem started car, turned wheel all the way one way and turned car off. I then did this the other way and so on several times.
I was getting bubbles so air was present. I topped when needed. I then took car for a drive to get up to temp and listen for noise.
The whining is still there but I noticed I only hear it when Im moving and not at all when Im stopped.
any ideas what next?

I am now pretty convinced that when the noise Im hearing is coming from the rear end...
What could be causing this.
I found this when I was looking at the rear end...

You say it only happens when you turn.. but you think its the rear now? It most likely is something with the power steering, the rear may just have a leak on the pinion seal, no big deal and prob. isnt related to your power steering issue.

I have the same exact problem but its deffinitly coming from my power steering. Not to thread jack but I have a slight leak coming from one of the lines. Does anyone know how to tell which is the return line and which is the pressurized one?
