I drive a 2004 GTP. Earlier this winter i had some power steering trouble. Before putting much thought into troubleshooting, I swapped out the pump. Only to find out that was not the issue. I discovered a leak on a line that runs along the front of the engine cradle. The line appears to be rigged as it has a section of rubber hose that is hose clamped into place. Anyway, the power steering pump that I installed (Oreileys Auto parts) whines like a mother. Plus, when I first start the car after sitting idle for several hours the power steering does not work. Then after a few moments the power steering comes back on, along with the whine. Any ideas on what is causing the horrible whine and initial delay? Trapped air?
Thanks,
Pal
