A power steering pump pressurizes the fluid that provides steering assist, and its seals keep that fluid contained. Signs the pump seals may need replacing include fluid seeping from the pump body, a fluid level that keeps dropping, or pump whine caused by low fluid. Other components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the source before you replace parts.
