Mechanic's tip
Power steering hoses crack from age and heat cycles. A whining noise that gets worse when turning, combined with a slow fluid leak, is the classic symptom. Ask the shop to check both hoses (high-pressure and return) while they're in there — they're often replaced together on high-mileage vehicles.
