I start the truck and back out, as I turn left or right to go forward the power steering won't work until I hit the gas above idle. I have air bubbles in the power steering fluid after driving. I don't see any tears or rips in the tubes. I do see a bunch of gunk or some thick type of oil under the steering box, and when I turn to the left or right it makes a loud noise. What may be the problem and how can I fix it?
