Whiny Engine Noise w/video

How long did you drive it while it was making noise? if it was very very low you could have jeopardized the pump... Not to freak you out, but when the fluid becomes very low it can introduce air into the hydro lines and pump which is not good... The only thing I am not certain on is whether or not the power steering system will push the air to the top reservoir once it is filled again... It may need to be bled out like a brake line... Flushing it out is good to do occasionally anyways..

Anyone else want to take a stab at the noise?

I have the same whine noise in my cabin too. Checked the power steering fluid but it was at a decent level, topped it off anyway, noise got a little better but a good bit is still there.

Was thinking of doing a full flush and came across this video:


Anyone know if you can use method to just suck out all the crap or do you have to get under the car empty it from there?

Update: the steering column noise has subsided. I haven't had any issues with the original problem either. All I did was top off the p/s fluid. Knock on wood, but no issues or signs of any leaks

I picked up mine up at the local dealer and it was the same price if not cheaper when you factor in the shipping costs from other vendors
