Hi alepe1184,

The powersteering system only contains slightly over 1 liters of fluid. If the fluid is low and you do not see any leaks, check the vehicle speed sensor.

Check the transmission fluid level, if it is too high, power steering fluid might be leaking into the trans via the speed sensor/meter gears.

After replacement of pumps and topping up fluids, you need to bleed the system by turning the steering from end to end a few times while running the engine.
