    Today I decided it would be a good day to do the Power Steering pump for some reason. The first time taking everything off then back together took me a while. I followed each step perfectly, When I first started the car to check how everything is, a bunch a fluid was just spilling out from the resovior-pump connection. I knew excactly what was wrong. The pump had no O-ring -.-.

    Took it all apart instantly, took about 10 minutes. Installed the O ring from my old pump put everything back together with a breeze. Got the technique down from the first time, such a pita.

    Started the car, no leaks but this awfull grinding sound is coming from the pump. I re-bleed the system again and the same noise is happening. I checked my fluid and it low. (Lost a most of my fluid from the first experience).

    Could low fluid be causing this noise.
