This is about a grand am, but i think it is the same under the hood as the sunfires.
My buddy has a 2002 grand am se with under 30,000 miles. It has the 4 cylander motor, the 2.2L I think. Any way the problem is that his power steering fluid keeps disapeering. We haven't had much time to look at the car because it has been very cold but there are no puddles left under the car so it doesn't seem to be leaking. I was wondering if anyone has had problems of this sort with these cars. My theory is that is somehow getting inside the engine. The power steering pump is gear driven instead of belt driven so if the seal between the pump is bad I could see how this could be happening. But I dont know much about gear driven power steering pumps so I could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.
