Probably the pump/seal Posted by huey [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Power steering system fundamentals?, yaofeng, Sat, 12 May 2007 09:39:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Similar thing happened to my 92 Turbo with 220k miles, dumped all the fluid while parked outside at work. Gave no previous warning, other than the past few weeks (or months?) the pump would give "squeals" more often. And a little "groan " when turning steering wheel, car stationary. This was indicative of failing pump. When pump shaft and bearing go, the seal is destroyed, hence the sudden and complete fluid discharge. In my case no amount of fluid leak sealer could bridge a gap the size of Provence. (Maybe the size of Avignon, but doubtful). Replaced with a good used pump.
Best wishes
Huey
