Q: power steering whining
Initially i had a small leak in my ps hose but it never made any noise. I had it and some sensor thing that was hooked onto it replaced. It immediately began whining and the mechanic said I needed to replace the pump. After I replaced the pump it definitely wasn't as loud but still whines. My boyfriend drained the fluid and replaced it because it was dark and still it whines. Wtf?
