The 5W30 did not help with the weird noise.

The power steering level was low and after topping it up, the noise is still there.

One thing I did notice though was that when I turn off the blower (defrost, heater, etc), the noise is almost gone. When I turn the blower back on, the noise returns.

Any ideas? What should I check for?

Thanks,

Stephen
