i did. i refilled and its still doing it. couldit be a leak?
could be the power steering pump on its way out. or a tear in one of the lines.
check the fluid level in a week or so and if its back down then fluid is leaking.

so what ur saying is that if its leaking then its making the "squirt" noise?
Ive heard power seering pumps make all types of weird noises when they are low on fluid. and if u have a leak then wouldnt your fluid be low? the sound "squirt" to me would mean air and liquid are mixing then being pressurized and pushed through something to make a squirt sound. wish i could help more.
