[QUOTE="funfer_fahrer, post: 165440, member: 2733"] I experienced that"whooooosh" during a full turn. But not with my current ride. It was with my previous ride, Ford Escape. The whole reservoir went empty while descending to Jelapang toll. My rear window was badly smeared with power steering oil and rear visibilty was really poor. The steering was getting heavier and heavier and I thought one of the tyres must have punctured and losing air at a slow rate. After the toll booth, I opened my bonnet and I found that the reservoir was empty. I managed to continue to KL, but it was really difficult to manouvre at low speeds. It cost me RM700 to repair the whole thing. I believe the "whoooosh" sound at a full turn was an indication that air had entered the system. Not a good sign. [/QUOTE]
