Hi guys.

It's getting cold now up here in Canada......

....And my power steering pump is quite noisy when I first start the car in the morning (brrrrrrr!). After warming-up for a while, the noise disappears.

I checked fluid the level and it's fine.... My guess is that the noise is due to cavitation (air bubbles) inside the pump caused by some worn O-ring(s), which is amplified by the cold weather....

Has anybody experienced this before??? What was the fix ???

Thanks for your help.

Many of us have experienced this before. It's an easy fix:
