My Santy continues to deliver trusty service day in and day out but she is starting to finally show her age and mileage. I had noticed that my power steering
reservoir had PS fluid 'sweating' over the top near where the cap seats to the tank. I wiped it off and checked it a few days later...still sweating. I
made a point to check the fluid regularly.
It took a while but the power steering pump began to whine while turning at low speeds and was most noticeable around 25-30 mph. In the last week, it has gotten to the point where it whines even if the wheel is pointed straight ahead. I topped off the PS fluid today as it was rather low and have ordered a new cap to see if that stops the 'sweating'.
Wish me luck...
