Hi I got to changing my front and pass side engine mount today and I thought everything went okay but now I have a big issue. When I start the car, there is a whirring sound from my power steering belt and it gets worse when I give it gas while in park and even worse when I turn. In addition, the fluid seems to be overflowing like either the pump is going bad or there is a clog. I just drove like 15 miles total and saw that there was PS fluid on top of the reservoir and sound that gone down the sides. I always check my fluid level, so it can't be that I had too much.
I don't know if I did something inadvertently while I doing the pass side mount. There were a couple issues however. First when I started doing the pass side, I forgot to jack the engine a little, to "take the weight of the mount." I don't really know if that was required. Nevertheless one of the bracket bolts got stuck and I had to drill it out. I did loosen the bolt that holds the PS fluid reservoir in place so that I can wiggle out the mount.
Please, any help would be appreciated. If I have to take it to a mechanic, I will eventually, but I want to make sure it's not something obvious.
THANKS!
