Is it more of a sort of groan? If so, they all seem to do that. At least the ones I've been in, anyway. Don't know about your leak though. |

Pressure relief valves groan, can sometimes be reduced or eliminated by draining & refilling with fresh oil. The squealing could be the belt slipping, quite common as the oil filter & cooler is just above it & any drips fall on the belt. The leak from the steering could be a union weeping which they all do. Worth a check around the pipework though as it is steel & does corrode. If it dumps its fluid then the pump seizes & you lose all the assistance. |
