Checks	Action
Check for internal leakage in the power steering pump, causing an overflow.	Repair the internal pump leakage. Bleed the system.
Check for a low fluid level.	Repair the internal pump leakage. Bleed the system. Cold temperatures will cause the air bubbles in the system if the fluid level is low.

Checks	Action
Check for an external leakage of the power steering pump at the seals.	Replace the seals. Repair the leak. Bleed the system.
Check for a worn serpentine accessory drive belt.	Replace the serpentine accessory drive belt.

Checks	Action
Check for a scored housing bore.	Replace the housing bore.
Check for leakage at the valve rings or the seals.	Repair the leak. Bleed the system.

Checks	Action
Check for air in the power steering fluid.	Perform the checks listed in "Foaming or Milky Power Steering Fluid (Air in Fluid)" above.
Check for a low level of power steering fluid.	Repair any internal or external leaks. Bleed the system.
Check for a loose mounting of the power steering pump.	Tighten the pump mounting to specifications.
