    Okay so Im gunna take a few pictures and upload them here shortly, But theirs oil inside my MAF sensor opening, causing it to fail, Im cleaning the sensor to temp fix it for now, but also Ive been having a problem with a whirring type noise while driving and especially when making turns, its loud and annoying and not sure where it's coming from as it only happens when I turn and can hear a whirring sound when accelerating, its a 2001 Grand Prix GT completely stock.

    check your pcv valve, it might be clogged up.

    I just took it apart and oh boy was it nasty looking lol. The code for it cleared so that's good, I still got other stuff to fix though, I might be low on power steering fluid but I cant find the res or anything. I'd upload pics but the forums thing is being dumb, ill try from my phone.

    Standing at the passenger side, jam your left hand down past the heater hoses where they exit the alternator bracket. In between the strut tower and the hoses. The P/S pump is just below and behind the alternator. Feel around for the P/S res cap. Its an insane location, difficult to locate and fill. Just snaking the dipstick (in lid) out without dropping it can be tough.

    You can see the steering pump cap with a flashlight looking straight down past the heater hoses at the alternator bracket. You'll need a long funnel and only a couple ounces of fluid most likely. Don't overfill that.

    The rubber thing with water coming out that you felt back there on the actual firewall is probably the A/C drain and that means it's working. That's another thing you really can't see and touch at the same time on these cars.
