AM,

Knowing your love of making light of things, I'm going to give that one to you.

So do our cars have a sealed system or something?

I'm getting some noise at full left turns. I did check for rubbing.

It's under one of the covers on the 2.3 litre engine. If I remember correctly you have to lift off the cover at the front of the engine where the oil dip stick is. I've had the power steering pump replaced twice on my car because of noise when turning both left and right. So far its the only major problem I've had after 84000 kilometers and both times it was under warranty.

I had the noise problem before also. It went away after I top off the steering fluid.
