Hi guys once again small think that i can't sort bleed the power steering last night everything seemed fine checked it this morning and when turning pump makes a kinda whinning noise. Pop the hood and removed the cap from the res, let the engine just tick over and air bubble city in the res. any Thoughts.

Oh yeah don't see any leaks on the pipes.

You need to make sure that the reservior is full....start the car and turn the steering wheel lock to lock once or twice then shut off the car... let it sit for a bout 5 minutes....then repeat until the whining is gone.....this will allow the air in the lines to come out....if you have any other questions feel free to ask!

bubbles are not good.
