Power Steering Problem.

[BrewsterGTS4]

My power steering is leaking.

When I turn left its nice and easy, but when I turn right its really heavy.

If anyone knows of this problem and how to go about fixing it, would be great.

Find the leak/ fix the leak - go from there?

Easily done

if the oil isn't low in the reservoir then its the pump that's got issues too. If not the pump having the issue that causes both the leak and the hard steering.

Time for a new P/S pump by the sounds of it...

Any grinding noises at first start up or when you first try to turn the wheel from a cold start?

haha, that's prob a suspension coilover or bushing too then...

does your power steering unit even make a whining sound when used on cold start-up? i.e. cold start the car n then turn the wheel while the car is stationary with the bonnet open to be able to hear it.
