Seems like the old girl is throwing me a new problem on a monthly basis. Here is this months issue: On starting her up from a couple of days sitting in the garage I noticed a distinct hissing sound coming from "behind the steering wheel" when the wheel was in the 12 o clock position. After driving the car for some time the noise appears to go away. Starting her up the next day noise was not there either - pressure issue right .....

Also when I turn the steering wheel at low speeds there is a loud squeak, sound like something rubber that needs to be lubed, the two issues are perhaps connected although squeak has been there for a while I think but much louder now.
