Hi in December 2010 I had a problem with my power steering pump so replaced it with a new one. Now the other day I was driving round a roundabout and steering went really stiff (scared me a bit) and the pump started making a really loud sort of grinding noise, getting louder when I turned the wheel either way, the haven't driven the car since, noise is still there but when I leave the car running for a while the power steering fluid overflows through the cap and is like a yellow kind of colour, the noise is definatly coming from the pump there's no mistaking that but do you think there could be a blockage somewhere along the line or could be something to do with the steering rack?? I took the pump apart last night and it's not running dry at all there was plenty of fluid in the pump. Please help it's driving me mad. Cheers
