My son's "new" 2000 Grand Am SE has a weird problem. When his power steering got noisy and then crapped out, we checked the fluid level and it was way low. We filled it, and a day later it was low again. We filled it again (to avoid running it dry, and so he could drive it okay) and took it into our mechanic. The mechanic said they checked it all over and could find no signs of any leak anywhere (and it didn't seem to have lost fluid between last fill-up and arrival at the shop). Now, a few days later, the same thing's happened again. The car's back in the shop, but meanwhile I figured I'd ask if anyone knew of any way it could be losing power steering fluid without leaving any puddle in the driveway or being visible to the mechanics... Thanks.
