when did you last change the oil?

if your drifting a car your most likely boiling the power steering fluid or youve lost alot

also if you change with the wrong fluid it whines

havnt changed that fluid yet, ive noticed that it looks lik its boiling when the engine is idling, what would cause that> surely it should only boil under hard use like drifting as you said

Change your oil,heat cycles lower the boiling point and the oil gets burnt. What your seeing at idle is the fluid moving through the reservoir by the pump
