Low power steering fluid in a 2006 pontiac torrent

Not all power steering systems are hydraulic. I think some G6 models have electronic power steering so no fluid is needed. Referring to the owners manual it appears that only the 3.9L uses a hydraulic system. If there is a reservoir it will either be tucked behind the alternator or mounted on that end of the engine. The top mounted reservoir filler cap is on top of the engine to the left of the oil filler cap.

Google the manual for your car

There are sealers that can take care of a small leak but it is a Band-Aid, not really a fix You can find those products at a car parts store. If this is at a connection point you can probably fix it yourself. Everything depends on how big and where the leak is. If it is on a metal line than replacing the line is your option.

It can be many different parts that could cause the noise. Low on power steering fluid, worn or loose belt, defective constant velocity joint, defective wheel bearing, defective rack and pinion steering, worn steering parts (tie rod ends, ball joints, idler arm, etc.)

• Nowhere, you have Electric Power Steering (EPS) not the traditional power steering pump.

• Hope this helps.

Toyota power steering hoses fail very often, not certain what model you have, but follow the hose back from the power steering resiviour,and you will find the pump, then there is a high and low pressure line leading to the steering rack at the rear of the motor, it is usually the high pressure hose that fails

you have a known condition with the ELECTRIC power steering (hence no fluid needed)

DO NOT USE DEXTRON III(3) USE DEXTRON VI (6)

if you have hydraulic steering, might be damaged components or low fluid if you have the dreaded electric steering, also could be a failing component Either way, have it checked immediately (despite a 2 year response).

05? fluid already low...follow your belt that goes around , well that turns your crank shaft air con. ect. each one of these has a pully (a wheel for the belt) one of those should be your power steering..if not some may even be on the side wall..make sure it says some thing about power steering fluid on the cap.
