My 99 Trans Am started to make that wierd noise when I turned the steering wheel so I checked the fluid and it was very very low When I was cleaning the engine bay no more than 4 days ago I checked the fluids and I know this fluid was okay. Well now my engine bay is splatered with fluid everywhere. Its somewhere around the pump but I can't find the leak. Its dripping off my alternater too. When the fluid gets hot thats when it leaks. When I parked to check it out, there was a slow drip. Where should I look and what do I look in to replacing?

 

Sounds like you need a new power steering pump. You could clean up the mess drive it for 20 mins. then look to see where the leak is coming from.

 

Yea thats what figured i'ma have to do. How Hard is it to put a new one in?

 

I will clean the area good with solvent tomorrow and test for leaks then. I think it might be a hose.
