High pressure power steering hose was leaking but I only noticed when I heard the whine of the power steering pump. Refilled the reservoir and 2 days later it was whining again. This is a pain in the butt to replace with $160 part and 3 hours quoted at the dealer. Ordered from RockAuto for $60 and had a mechanic friend replace it. It's hard to get at the one end. If the pump runs without fluid for a while, this could turn into a multiple thousand dollar job.
