the problem is power steering moved steering wheel whilst stationary at lights then proceeded to wabble wheels.
Wheel bearings checked okay tyres checked okay
Topped up power steerig fluid and noticed the pipe from resevouir was wet near the flexible join on the pipe going to the rack.
It was fine for a couple of days then reoccured on motorway forcing me to stop. emergency RAC came and checked nothing found when we drove off motorway problem had gone, RAC man test drove we could not recreate problem.
Q is air getting into fluid?
Q is it to do with heat and fluid?
Q is it faulty pump? need to know what to do before buying spares which are nor requiored

If pump is losing fluid , it will be drawing air also ? Depends how bad , but may be knackered pump .
