If the level is correct the filter in your reservoir is probably clogged. It cannot be changed or adequately cleaned. Buy a new reservoir for about $20 US.

Steering wheel groaning

 Did it progressively make more and more noise before it went or was it a surprise incident? Everyone, if you haven't done so already, always take regular peeks at your brake fluid, powersteering fluid, coolant, and if you have time, the differential as well (albeit a bit more of a pain and mess to check )oh and obviously oil  BlackE87 Harry Lockwood wrote: > In article >, > Harry Lockwood > wrote: > >> In article >, >> Harry Lockwood > wrote: >> >>> 2001 325 iT: When pressure is put on the steering wheel, as in a slow >>> turn, for instance, the steering makes groaning sound.
