Ok, problem. It seems that the fluid level is low, realy low. I think there is a leak in the resevoir bottle where the top and bottom half is crimped together.
Is the fluid an oily fluid or more like watery fluid? If oily then I believe it is leaking.
Please advise on what is the correct fluid to use to refill? I will refill the fluid and monitor rhe level for leakage.
Can you keep the resevoir bottle open when bleeding the steering?
On a different topic, when is the best to check engin oil levels? Cold or hot engin?

Ok, I refilled with shell spirax s2 atf d2. I really hope this is correct as I could not get from SASOL.
I will monitor the level and see what happens. Sound is gone so lets hope pump did not get damaged.
