The yellow fluid is power steering fluid, the noise is because it is low. Repair your leak asap to prevent pump damage, not to mention the safety issue when you lose the power sterring

SOURCE: 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee leaking coolant and power steering fluid

Just a heads up, $10 bucks will buy you a seal kit for the P.S. pump. I topped mine off for a couple months, then the oring on the high pressure line (from pump, front center) blew and dumped the reservoir in a matter of miles.

The line can be a stinker to get off, recommend driving the car for a few minutes to heat up the pump a little. Don't forget the 20MM wrench.

SOURCE: power steering hose leak

as long as you use a flair nut wrench on the fittings it's not that hard. Since you aren't going to use the old hose over, if the nuts are frozen you can break the line off and use a socket to get them off. Don't loose any "o" rings (new kit comes with them as needed but make sure you know where the old ones are. New lines are often a slightly different shape than old one...make sure line is not rubbing on anything or it will wear through.
After filling, turn the wheel gently all the way to one side, then the other and re-check level. Most times any noise at pump will disappear after use,as any residual air bleeds out.

SOURCE: My Isuzu trooper 1990 makes a squeaking sound

The power steering fluid level is low or the v-belt tension needs adjusting.Its not likely to be the aircon comp.Look at the v-belt.Adjust if needed and also see its not cracked or too shiny that would allow slipping.If in doubt,replace it.It will be the problem.Hope this helps

Power steering not working, and put power steering fluid in car

Lets use common sense here

It leaks,you stop using the car & repair the leak

Most likely the steering rack is worn & needs to be replaced

That's what happens when you don't flush the fluid every
3 years or it leaks & runs low

What is cause of power steering noise from ford galaxy

Check your fluid level first. If the fluid is low it will cause the power steering pump to make noise. Moore noticeable when in parking lots and driving in the city where you are making a lot of turns. Look for leaks. If you fill the power steering resivor to the proper level and the fluid leaks and you can not see the leak it may be your steering rack. The fluid leaks into the boots and sometimes goes un -detected. You can poke a small hole in the bottom of the boots and see if fluid leaks out. If so the steering rack is leaking and should be replaced

Re Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 16v 1998, Power steering fluid leak from under the passenger foot well. How do I fix it?

First thing you need to do is pinpoint the source of the leak EXACTLY, clean off all the fluid and then put some fluid in the system, have someone start the car and while the car is supported securely off the ground go under and locate the leak, wear safety goggles so fluid doesn't get in your eyes.

Hi:
Sometimes air gets into the power steering system, and can cause noises.

often, the technician that installed the hose, could ensure all the air is out, by having the car up off the ground, and turning the steering full left and full right, while bleeding the system, as well as making sure that it has 100% fresh fluid too.

Power steering noise on turning; noticed no power

Check the ends of your rack & pinion for signs of a leak. If a leak is present, replace the rack & pinion. If no leaks, maybe your power steering pump is going out.
