extremely noisy PS pump

[orly_andico]

ka otep,

i watched the banawe boys doing the pump. it's kinda hard to mess up the pump, it's a very simple mechanical thing.

regarding the hose, the hose REALLY leaks. it's obvious just from touching it. hindi cover-up yun. although i am preparing for the eventuality of the PS pump needing another repair job. maybe i can do it myself (the thing IS rather simple) since all the gaskets and O-rings have already been replaced.

also, it's not a hissing noise. it's a speed-related rattle. parang masyadong hinigpitan yung two clamshells of the PS pump. think of a knife being ground over a whetstone, parang ganun yung sound (medyo katakot nga eh).

when the car was * 5000rpm sustained (140kph) i smelled this slight burning smell and some smoke came out from under the hood. i suspect the PS pump overheated..
