How would you know if your Power Steering pump was bad on a 1992 Lexus ls 400?

Any of the following symptoms can indicate a faulty power steering pump:

  • Lack of steering assist (i.e. steering wheel difficult to turn, especially at low speeds)
  • A whining sound that becomes higher in pitch as engine speed (not vehicle speed) increases
  • A thin, oily fluid leaking from the engine compartment onto the ground below, accompanied by a drop in the power steering fluid reservoir level
