Power steering fluid leak 2001 jeep gr.cherokee limited 4.7L AWD

Its best not too.just get under car and check the rack and pinion for leaks, and all hoses from pump down, good-day!

It MAY,,,,,, be the start of a power steering pump problem.Just maybe.The pumps can moan and groan without leaking,so keep an eye on it.Hope this helps.

Check the power steering fluid. The resoviour could have a leak in it. This is located under the hood normally it has a cap about the size of a half dollar

The noise is due to air in the power steering system. It will come out once you fix the leak, by setting the fluid level, install the cap and start and rotate the wheel left and right for a minute...shut off and check level again.

If it is leaking out of the hose, replace the hose

If its a whining noise, check the power steering fluid level and fill if low, otherwise you may have a pump going out or a loose belt

you have a leak try using lucas power streering stops leaks products
it works in my 97 sebring.

how often does the warning comes on doing the week or in two weeks? if it was a one time thing or this takes place every 3-5 months i wouldn't worry about it. i will make sure that the radiator cap is on tight. you said that all hose seem to be in good condition i would check the radiator where the cooling fan covers the fins and the water pump because it has a warn hole at the base that will seep out antifreeze when the inside seals are going bad these will cause the smell also.

Just a heads up, $10 bucks will buy you a seal kit for the P.S. pump. I topped mine off for a couple months, then the oring on the high pressure line (from pump, front center) blew and dumped the reservoir in a matter of miles.

The line can be a stinker to get off, recommend driving the car for a few minutes to heat up the pump a little. Don't forget the 20MM wrench.

It sounds a lot like an internal valving problem. Sometimes this can be cleared up by changing the fluid. To do this, disconnect the low pressure hose (the one that does not have a pressure fitting on it, just a clamp) on the back of the pump. Catch fluid in a pan and disgard it. Refill with new fluid run the vehicle and turn wheels all the way to one side, center, refill, all the way to other side, center and repeat in order to remove air from system.Remove hose again and repeat entire process again. If fluid appears clean on the second drain, re-fill with good quality fluid and use a power steering conditioner such as that made by Lucas. If after a few days, the problem does not subside, you will need some mechanical diagnosis & repair. However, I have had many systems "come back" from this kind of problem by simply doing what i've outlined.
