Offroading today on snowy trails, and used my hydraulic winch a few times. Then while just driving up a hill, I start getting a nasty noise of really fast clicking and whining. I recognized the whining as the power steering pump, and when I checked under the hood, all the noise was coming from the pump. I essentially have no power steering at all, and during hard turns the pump makes excessive grinding and whining. The fluid level is just fine, so I don't know what it could be. I do have a hydraulic winch in the power steering fluid loop, so that kind of complicates stuff.
Are these the sounds of a broken pump?
