My 2000 Contour recently began making a louder, faster "rev" sound in the power steering accessory when first driven (cold to first 1 mile) and when turning the steering whee to corner. Is this a symptom anyone else has experienced (power steering belt, pump, or unrelated causes?)?

Hi:
First, thanks for the positive feedback. It's appreciated. Next, I couldn't read the entire message you wrote because it only allows so many letters for feedback. I got to where you found the fluid was low and that was all I got. Did you have any other questions or concerns?

Let me know,

Joe
