Message Alright some insight on my issue... I was hearing a power steering whine due to fluid level. Checked the fluid and noticed one of the pipes coming out of the resevoir, down about 6inches, and towards the radiator is bent.

Everything was good after topping off for maybe 5 days, noticed the ATF fluid puddled under the passenger side of the car this morning. The whine is back, but I have not noticed any hard steering before or after. The steering feels loose but comfortable enough unless on rough roads.

Heres the pictures from the FSM... I believe it is the route on that shows on the far left and bottom and back around to the drivers side. Will verify this later.

My question is, is it possible to replace any of the piping without replacing the entire system? The pipe on the FSM looks like its broken down into seperate pieces but it looked to me that the pipe is part of the reservoir and cannot be disconnected?
