It is cheaper and best to replace the pump with a remanufactured one.
What will happen if u I added power steering fluid to a leaking power steering pump
You need to replace the power steering pump. If it is leaking, it is going out.
Noise may be heard in a power steering line when the power steering fluid is low. Low power steering fluid may occur due to a leaking power steering pump in most cases. If the pump is not leaking, then the fluid needs to be added.
most likely your alero's power steering pump would be leaking from the power steering reservoir, but as an alero owner i have had to replace the whole pump because the pump shaft snapped on me
the power steering is leaking were the lines run inside the boot on the driver side
broken hose to the power steering reservoir or the rack on the firewall is leaking badly or the reservoir has a hole in it.
The power steering fluid is leaking because somewhere in the power steering system there is a leak. It is possible one of the seals on the steering rack has worn out. That would be a good place to start. It could also be coming from a leaky seal on the power steering pump or from one of the lines.
Clean the power steering are real good check for where the leak is coming from and go from there. For example if a hose is leaking replace hose, if power steering pump seals are leaking replace pump, exc.
power steering or transmission
If the power steering rack is leaking, it is likely an seal or a gasket. Replacing the seal or gasket should stop the leak.
There could be many causes to a car leaking power steering fluid. There could be a hole in the reservoir, or the seals could be worn or broken.
No, but impossible to check anything else if it is leaking. And if the rack and pinon is leaking, then it will have to be changed anyway.
