On startup it will make a squealing noise when trying to turn the wheel, this dies down/disappears pretty quick. Although the steering doesn't feel 100% at all, goes all stiff, almost locks up in places when trying to turn the wheel, sometimes feels like the power steering actually cuts out. I have loosened the belts, tightened them, made sure all bolts and that have been screwed in and tightened properly, checked the power steering line for leaks/pinches. I'm not sure, maybe the pump is going?

Truly stumped, it's annoying me too because, well, I don't want to drive it in it's current state.

Poor girl..

Replace the o-rings where the plumbing goes to your pump.

Air is getting in the hydraulic system.
