I currently drive a 2004 chevy Cavalier LS, I have had trouble with the power steering for a few years. The vehicle will drive and steer fine for a while, then it will begin to make a low grumbling noise when I slow down and turn. The steering becomes steadily more difficult. I eventually took it in for repair. They told me that it was a slow leak in my steering fluid and instead of paying to fix it, to keep filling it with fluid whenever I start hearing the noise. So far, I've only lost the power steering once - luckily I was in my driveway. Filling the power steering works as a quick fix for a few weeks. I've also notice that when I got to open the power steering fluid cap - it appears that the fluid has been "boiling" or foaming for a while. I'm not sure if that helps, but it has been something I've noticed. Thanks.
