Power Steering Pump Issues... Ok, here's the deal. I had a bunch of work done to my car, including the install of a new PS pump, b/c my old one had been leaking ps fluid like crazy. I got one at autozone, but the shop told me it was overheating when they put it in, so i got a new GM ps pump. They put that one in and since day 1 that i got it back, it has been whining like crazy.
There was also a very acrid and nauseating smell of burning ps fluid coming through my vents. Sooo i asked around, and deduced it was my PS cooler. I changed that, and also flushed my radiator (b/c the antifreeze was disgusting).
That worked for a few days, and now the ps pump is whining again. I've checked the antifreeze levels, and the PS fluid levels, both of which are fine. I have an underdrive pulley (crank only), which i THOUGHT would make it easier on the life of my ps pump.... but i can't figure out why it's whining and why i get that God awful smell through my vents....
PLEASE HELP!!
