Whining Pump? A Guide to Roadside Power Steering Leak Stop for SG Cars

The Cause of Many Leaks: Hardened Seals

What to Do When You Suspect a Power Steering Leak

• Listen to the Noise: A whining pump is the clearest indicator. Don't ignore it.
• Feel the Steering: If the steering becomes noticeably heavier, especially during parking maneuvers, the system is losing hydraulic assistance.
• Check for Puddles: Look for reddish or brownish fluid dripping from the front half of your car.
• Stop Driving and Call for Help: Topping up the fluid is only a very temporary fix if you have a leak, and you risk destroying the pump if the fluid runs out completely.
