Your power steering will fail because brake fluid is poor lubricant.
This means you have a fault with your power steering. You should contact the garage as the power steering may fail.
the most likely cause of that would be the power steering pump failing.
It means theres a fault with the electronic power steering. DO NOT ignore as it can fail at any moment leaving your car with no steering!!!
The first thing to fail in the steering system are the idler arms - they do not have lube fittings from the factory. Change these and the steering will feel like new.
Noise from am power steering pump can be caused by several things. The fluid could be low, the belt could be loose or the pump can be beginning to fail.
The main cause of a power steering pump failure is a way to gasket. Electronic fuel pumps can fail due to wiring problems.
Three main risks are associated with power steering leak: 1) Loss of easy steering capability 2) Low amounts of power steering fluid can cause the power steering pump to fail, which is another expensive item 3) Risk of fire with the fluid being dripped on the engine
All steering linkages have either a "U" joint to align the Steering Colum to the steering box or rack OR They have a noise and vibration damper made of rubber and cloth like a tire side wall. Either of these components can fail and cause the symptom you describe.
