Looks like the pump for me. I wanted to flush and refill with new clean synthetic.

Pulled off the belt and removed the return line.

Spun the pump and nothing comes out.

I then turned the wheel from lock to lock and did get some fluid so it is not a line blockage.

So I'm guessing a bad pump.

Thoughts??

I seem to be having the same problem with my 2000 Legacy. Any idea if this could be the same solution.

Everything seemed fine until this morning and 0 degree temp. Now it feels like no power steering. There was a bit of squealing when I started the car, but then it quieted it down.

Drove to work with what feels like no steering.

Popped the hood figuring that I would be missing a belt and everything seems fine and turning nicely.

But no steering.

Any advice would be welcome.

Thanks.
