    Default Strange Noise on Cold Start

    hey guys, not much of a mechanics wiz here so i thought i would just ask to make sure, the good old rolla seca is making a strange loud hum on a cold start, it doesn't make it if the cars been driven and only lasts about 3-5 mins, it becomes louder when turning and is coming from the front, any ideas?

    Something in the power steering by the sounds of it (if it has PS)

    Yeah low level id say.

    If not PS (dex3 usually) fluid level thats low, check auto gb (if app) & eng oil in that order.

    If your power steering fluid has got low good idea to jack up the front wheels and turn it lock to lock a few times while warm. Gets any possible bubbles out.
    meh...

    Check for leaks if the PS fluid is low. Best place to start is the boots at the rack ends.
