Mk1 focus rs power steering problem
Was dring home and a horrible noise started from the car a kind of whiring noise gets noisier when you turn the steering wheel checked the reservoir and its at its min but when you start it it all disappears had quick look about only possible leak that I might see is from the bottom section of the little cooler pipe that sits in front of th rad in sure though as its really wet and stuff.
If the pump is shot is it the same pump as an st170 or is it rs only and if it is the pipe that's leaking where will I get one best to go to ford?

The metal pipe will be rotten mate, I know graham at car parts express does the pipe (not cheap) as for pump you can use a normal 2.0 focus one but you need to block off the extra outlet, that's what I've done when my pump went.

Bloke at work had similar on his 1.8 mk1 focus. Had a little leak somewhere and the pump was noisy. Topped the fluid back up to maximum and the noise went away, but came back when the level dropped again. Chucked in some PAS system stop leak which cured the leak then with the level full it stopped making a noise. The leak didn't reappear for the next couple of years he had the car.
