Hi all. My 996 C2 has started to make a screeching sound upon startup. I literally stuck my head into the engine whilst running (not advisable) and traced the sound to the power steering pump.
Turning the steering wheel left to right confirms that its definitely originating from this part. I checked the power steering fluid levels and on a cold start its under the 'cold' level marker, but after a good run the fluid level hasn't moved and is in the same place when checking against the 'hot' marker level. I'm going to top up the fluid but my question is - should I try to remove as much as the old fluid first, or should I just top up and see if this sorts the issue?
Thanks in advance!
