964 power steering noise

[Turboman]

964 Power Steering noise. My 964 had some oil leaks; I took advantage of the winter months to fix them.
I carefully follow step by step the recommendations of Oleg Perelet, to end all leaks, super happy with the results regarding the leaks but the car developed a strong noise on the engine right hand side. I thought it was the valves and re calibrated all of them, but the noise persisted, later I fund that if I turn the steering wheel the noise disappears. The power steering belt was changed in the process of fixing oil leaks
Any advice or recommendation will be welcome. Spring starts and topless driving is needed.
Thanks

After rebuilding my engine and refilling the power steering fluid I had the same noise in the back right hand side for about a week or two. I then kept steering the front wheels lock to lock every once in awhile and eventually the niose went away. I think air gets traped in there and has to work its way out. I hope thats all it is for you. Give it some time.

Agree with above. Your supposed to turn the wheel lock to lock, and stop & start the car a few times while adding fluid to get the air out.

Thanks both of you for the advice. Problem solved.

Turning it lock to lock did the trick? How many times? If UPS digs itself out of the snow today, I will have my tie rod end back on the car and the car back on the road tonight after a similar project (I left out the seals on the skyward-facing part of the engine due to time constraints but also had the steering rack rebuilt) so I want to be prepared in case I get the same symptoms.

Is your garage floor dry post-project so far?

Yes Ari my garage floor is dry..............fantastic. Oleg's article was the help I needed to cure all oils leaks.

Cool. I am hoping to get to the rest of them soon. I do have a drop of oil on the floor post-project, but most likely it's remaining drops flowing down from when I stupidly spilled steering fluid while trying to get the clamp back on the line into the steering pump from the reservoir. I put a piece of white paper down to find out, although it is dry overnight. Still, before the project I had at least 8 independent drops of oil on the floor every morning. It's a big improvement so far thanks to Oleg's article.
