Noisy Power Steering

[_Tom]

Well as above. My power steering seems to have got quite loud and whine alot. The level seems to be fine although there is a bit of juice on the cap that seem to have come out the little hole on the lid. Hmm and thats about all really, any ideas of what it might be?

Can be air. Also wynns, Slick 50 and others do a conditioner/stop whine stuff that you can put in to help things.

Been posted here before so do a search. Try bleeding the system first.
