Ur steering doesn't take fluid it's electric and what's happening is probably a bad steering motor most common reason for that happening if u have the codes checked in ur power steering module u probably have a code c0467 motor fault the good news is they sell the motor seperate from the column it used to be all together the is like a few hundred plus install.hope this helps let me know how it goes.also donations and feedback is greatly apprecated.
