Last Saturday I finally got to drive my car after 2 long weeks at school. My cousin came over with his new MK5 Golf, and we went over to a big empty parking lot to "Play around" a little. As I pulled a little doughnut I noticed my steering felt funny. When I pulled over for a closer inspection, I saw power steering fluid on the lower splash gaurd; it was comming from the center of the PS pully. So now when I'm stoped my steering starts whining when I turn the wheels but works fine while moving. Made an appointment with Infiniti of Willowgrove, but as ussual, I have to wait untill Thursday. But is this normal? I have an 04 with 41K miles. Is it possible that my 20" wheels, swaybars and lowering springs combination played a role in creating this problem?

 

Sounds like a leak or you blew a o ring on the pump.. I suggest you don't drive it or keep filling the fluid.. because the pump will fry itself

 

Thanks for the advise. The car is at home while I'm here at school. My father is going to drop it off at the dealer for me. I think/hope that is covered under the powertrain warrenty.
