2006 Honda Odyssey making weird noise Sign In

Hi guys, I'm hoping you can help me out here. I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey with an unusual problem. I'm getting a weird "Whurl" sound coming from the front of the car after driving long distances such as driving the interstate. This doesn't seems to happen when driving in the city. I can't seem to tell if the sound happens when hitting the accelerator or when turning but I think it is only happening when turning the wheel. Any ideas? Thanks.

Check all your fluid levels. Power steering may be low.

Well I checked the Power Steering fluid level and it's got a quarter left before it hits the low level on the container. This isn't the proble, is it?

Fill it to the full level and find out.

Only takes one air bubble to make some terrible noise.

I'm a notch above stupid when it comes to cars as you can see. I'll fill it up and see what happens. Does it matter on which PS fluid to get? Certain cars take certain kinds or is it all the same. Also, you have to fill it on a cold engine, right?

Yes, a Honda takes a special fluid designed just for Hondas.

Wow, thanks. I'm glad I asked because I would have gotten any old fluid. I take it I can only get it at a Honda dealership, too.

You can buy it at most any auto parts store. Just make sure it specifies for Honda.

Ok, thanks alot. Much cheaper at an auto store I'm sure. In case this isn't the fix do you guys have any other ideas on what it could be?

Well, I filled up the Power Steering fluid and it did the trick! No more noise. Thanks a lot, guys.
