So I've been looking at past posts about this and have a few questions.
2.3 Accord.

About a month ago It's making that whining sound. I changed out the fluid and bled it. (Jack up the front, turn wheels rack to rack) Runs great. Then it starts the whining again after a few weeks so I jack it up again and the little air bubbles are nonstop. I keep turning the wheels back and forth and there always seems to be air bubbles.

Would it be correct to say air is getting into the system?
Should I look at that inlet o-ring first and replace that?

Thanks

There could be some black spray around where the leak is. Look closely around all the connections, and the seams on the pump itself. The inlet o'ring is a prime suspect.

Ya, I've seen no leaks or anything like that. Just the continual foaming bubbles in the reservoir.

Do you know if that O ring available at an autozone or oreilly or is it a honda only part?

BLKFLSH

I don't know. Honda changed the o'ring and the part number, so I guess you would have to ask them (autozone, oreilly). No dealership in the area?

Powerboss

Thanks for your help. If it were that O rink would fluid also be seeping out because there doesn't seem to be any?

BLKFLSH

It will not leak much, until the o'ring gets really bad. The source of the noise is the air being drawn into the pump through the o'ring, so there is more air going in, than fluid coming out.

Powerboss

Thanks. I'm going to try it.

Powerboss

Replaced the O ring. Problem solved.

Thanks!

Fluid didn't leak out because it was the intake side of the pump. Pretty cheap fix tho isn't it!?
