Ok, so I start the car Saturday morning and the PS is whining.  Shut it
down, check the fluid and it is low.  Ad some ATF and it quiets down and all
is well except for "marking it's spot" everywhere I park.   Check it out and
determine that the high pressure hose is leaking.  So I take it off and take
it to the local hydraulic hose shop and have a new one made up.  They said
the put the restrictor back in the new hose.  Only $30.  I'm feeling real
good.  Put the new one on, top off with ATF, start the car, turn lock to
lock to purge the air, top off the reservoir, have a beer and all is well.



Then today I take out the car and when driving it is fine, but when turning
around a corner, or into a parking space the steering howls like a banshee.
Anyone know of any way of quieting this down?  I really don't want to spend
$300 on new hose.
