Power steering fluid HELP!
Hey peeps
i was changin the sparks and i noticed a stain on the underside of the bonnet. thought it was brake fluid so i checked then nothing.




after checking i found a small pool of power steering fluid next to the power steering motor/generator?
i'm thinking it must have leaked. but power steering still works well. only thing that might ahve cause it was while i was turnin i hit a kerb at around 30 kmh. hhmmm i'm on 17"s
would pressure from the wheels cuase a surge in the power steering generator and force it out of something?
i'm a bit freaked out cause i've had weird experiences where when reversing and parking after 2-3 turns i kinda feel the power steering starting to lose the 'power' and i ahve to turn it with force!
help!

ok i think i might have found the problem. when turning the wheel the resevoir was'nt bubbling at all. but power steering was workin fine tho and teh wheel turned w/o hassle! problem was when u reach the limits it starts to "click-click" and so on like a spark sound. hhm..i'm assuming the pump is trying to pump a air pocket?
any one know how to get rid of these? drain the pump/hoses etc?
