HELP! Power steering issues - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi all,
I have noticed that my car will have issues doing tight turns. when i turn the wheel it makes a buzzing noise and sometimes basically almost locks the steering wheel. A friend told me to check the power steering levels and i noticed when i did there was nothing on the power steering dip stick. so i bought some automatic transmission fluid, filled it up to the full line and took it for a quick drive right after and still was making the noises. and sometimes struggling to turn the steering wheel.

Does anyone have any info that can help me solve this problem.. any form of help will be greatly appreciated.

You still have warranty. Take it in.

My hose fell off my car and was a very bad time to find out
I had no steering!

Hopefullu you still have warranty.

Topping up the fluids didn't help?

DOnt remember exactly but I remember one of our vehicles had a similar issue and it was belt related, may have been something to do with the serpentine belt or the alternator. I was child then so don't remember exactly.

Are you getting proper voltage in the car? Not sure if this matters or not so just throwing out things

UPDATE: took it into the dealer and they said the power steering pump was leaking and they also replaced it under warranty. no more noises
