80 series petrol 94
went for a wheel on the weekend and the power steering pump was whinning rather loud.
It is quite as on road. Not untill i'm in the rough stuff it's starts to whine like the misses at that time of the month.

1. What could be wrong with it?
2. How long will it last?
3. What happens when they shit themselves?

1. LOW OIL..CHECK IT WHEN HOT & COLD OR P/STEER BOX NEEDS BLEEDING.
2.UNTIL YOU FIX IT.
3.YOU WILL LOOSE P/STEERING & PROB. BREAK YOUR WRISTS IF GOING HARD OFFROAD.
Ol' mate this is your steering we are talking about,if it shats itself while your driving you could be putting yourself & not to mention others in danger.

fill her mouth with something
as for your steering whine ,get a hold of some lucas powersteering additive. allsorts of promises on the bottle ,but it just shuts it up .
it worked for me and also alot of trucks thru where i work
