saskatoon,
So today i was driving, and i decided i needed to go back to the store, so i turned around, everything fine, and i go into the store, for maybe.. 15 min? I come out and back out of my parking space, and i notice a HUGE puddle of fluid.. so i figured that it was just there before, and i didnt notice, so i try to turn, and it was SO hard, i could barely turn the wheel, i eventually managed, and I went to the place i worked and got some power steering fluid,i noticed then that there was a hose that was completely off near the front, i put it back on and filled the power steering, it was fine for a little after, maybe 5 seconds then it went hard again, so i got it home and i noticed there was a little drip coming from a little bit behind and to the right of the passenger side wheel.. and if i jack up the car it wont leak, but as soon as i lower the car back down, it starts to leak again.. also, when driving home, I'd try to turn and it would make a kind of humming sound.. i don't have a clue what happened. please help!
 
i tried to get some, but its too dark under my car. Its not a direct leak, its coming down and dripping off my frame basically. And now if i try to start it, it makes like a gargling sound.. ?
 
thats what happened with my 91 jeep same thing i had a leak in the hose and i couldnt figure out where it was untill i saw with the wheel turned but it also made a humming sound. and i replaced the line i forgot to get the air out and it was making the same sound then opened the cap let it run turned the wheel and added more fluid and it was good.
 
uhh, no.. but bleeding it, would that stop the leak? Oh and when i get in my car, startit and turn my wheel from left to right it makes a gargling sound also..
