Power steering "pshhhh" noise
I started getting this odd noise that I can hear inside the cabin. As I turn the steering wheel left or right I hear a "pshhhhh" noise kind of like a tire slowly leaking air. The noise seems to originate from inside the steering column. Right now, the power steering feels okay. Just wondering if anyone else has heard similar sounds. Thanks.

No noise when the steering wheel is centered. When I turn the steering wheel and leave it there (not turning all the way) I can hear the noise. Probably a leak then. Would this be an air leak or a fluid leak? I'll have it checked out.

KIDDING KIDDING, not serious...

I avoid lock on the steering at all costs; there's no need to put your PS pump through that torture for another 2" of reduced turning radius! You will eventually kill the thing doing that repeatedly.
