1) Try blocking, and jacking the front of car.
2) Put Emergency brake on.
3) Start car and exercise the power steering, by turning the wheels to the left and right.
4) Check fluid

Caution- Make sure your using the right fluid for the power steering pump, because some might not be compatible.

Power steering fluid, Transmission fluid, ATF mercon, and ATF Mercon 5.
Re-manufactured pump, I did #3 and #4, is #1 necessary? I'm using correct power steering fluid, owners manual says not to use trans fluid. Is the reservoir suppose to hold pressure? I was told no.
