Ive been riding with a loud whining power steering pump for about a month now. i check it almost everyday.?

Question

the fluid remains at the same level. Until 2 day my steering starts squealing badly and whining louder when i turn. I mean very loud. so i stop the car check the fluid and its was very low and foamy for the first time. I looked under the car and I see no fluid leaking. I put more in the pump and drive it and it still goes down little by little but i see no leak. has the pump finally went out? Is the foaming of fluid causing it 2 go low? Its a 99 ford taurus

Answer 1

It is gone, replace it.  Or check down by the stearing box which could be leaking it out too.  It can leak from places besides from the pump.  If you already did then it is the pump.

Answer 2

Yes, it sounds like your power steering pump is shot.
