Steering wheel fluid needs to be replaced nearly twice a week and car whines loudly when fluid gets to half full level. What is cause and what should be done?

Hi there,

You will have to locate this leak, the system is very basic only a pump on the engine the steering rack or box and a pressure hose and a return hose, with this leak just wash down and run the car turning the steerings, you should see the leak dripping, if in doubt get your mechanic to inspect this on a hoist as this will make things easier.
