Thread: Power Steering Rack

It started with a lot of noise in the front end. I noticed small drops of fluid on my driveway and thought it was from my 2002 Grand Prix GTP. After that car got totaled two weeks ago by an idiot driver of another vehicle, I noticed the spot still being made and ironically at the same time the car started making noises when turning. That is when I popped the hood and saw the fluid all over the engine. The power steering fuild reservoir was empty. I filled it up, cleaned up the engine and watched. The engine was covered again in short time. I made an appointment at my shop and that evening the power steering went out completely. When the car does not have the gas pedal applying power to the engine, the power steering is gone. So when I am driving slow no under power, it has no power steering at all. Talk about a workout. When I apply gas, it has power steering. I then took it to the shop where they found the pump to have a bad seal. Replaced the pump and had power steering for 5 minutes and now it is gone again. They are going to repalce the pump again and see what happens.
