Power Steering Pressure Question?!

Apr 08, 2006 1 Replies

My 00 Grand Am seems to have a large amount of air pressure in the power steering system. What I mean is, when I take the cap off the power steering pump, theres a loud "phssssssst" noise of air escaping. Why is there excess air pressure in the power steering? I'm hoping that this isnt causing any damage to the pump or rack and pinion... please help!



Does the steering make any noises when you turn the wheel back and forth?
