The power steering may leak fluid at the pump, hose, or steering gear. This can be caused by one or more hoses not being clamped tightly enough. The repair involves adding new clamps and seals to the power steering hoses at the pump and steering gear.

Makes humming noise when the steering is turned, even very slightly, particularly in the morning and when the weather is cold. I was told that power steering hose and perhaps pump would need to be replaced.
