Check up the hydraulic power steering pump.
See picture below for 1.6, 1.8 liters Audi (4 cyl.) engines:

If you find leaks and noise when runing, the hydraulic vane type pump is damaged. The pump **** air inside and mix air with oil resulting foam. Therefore fluid volume inside steering instalation rises. Then pressure overflows oil from the reservoir. You need repair or replace hydraulic vane type steering pump.

check the condition of the pump drive belt as the cold weather makes it more difficult to flex and if it is worn or loose it may be your problem

Power steering makes noise when turning right and left and even more going backwards. Car is a 1996 Jaguar 4 liter engine. Original owener. Never changed fluid. Decided to replace only resevoir fluid...
If your reservoir is full then your power steering pump is most likely bad and needs replaced

Can any one tell me the corect oil for power stering on my 1996 a4
Brian,

Power Steering fluid is what's needed. not oil. The fluid is generic, no special mix for a certain make or model.

I couldn't recommend one over another because of anything special it does. There is no Deluxe Power Steering Fluid that will help you steer twice as good as the leading competitor.

Have a good one Brian

Power steering
NO, DOT 4 fluid is brake fluid, not power steering fluid. The power steering fluid resevoir is black with a green cap.
