power steeering

RE: power steeering
I had to replace my power steering pump at about 100k .The whine progressed to sporadic loss of power steering. Then the fan would stay on for long periods of time after turning the car off. Eventually, the fan would not shut off at all, drained my battery and I had to replace the whole pump($700 brand new including labor). It happened over a few months so I had plenty of warning that something was up.

check the fluid level, reservoir in the middle of engine bay near the back. takes some weird fluid you can't get just anywhere. my wifes ps pump whines then i top it off and it's fine. don't let the fluid go low. check for a leak.

RE: power steeering
How do you get the power steering reservoir open? Dealer service tells me it is a sealed system, meaning to me that it is only serviced by a mini dealer service department. My 04 is making more than a whine, when I turn the steering wheel either way especially when car is cold it makes what sounds like a front wheel rubbing against a wheel well. Help!
