2002 Santa Fe, noise occasionally from engine
A grinding noise - sort of like a bearing going bad - seems to come
from the right rear portion of the engine. It can be quite loud and
then the next day will just quiet down completely. The only strange
symptom besides the noise is the last time power steering fluid was
leaking from the refill container. Seemed to be coming out the top.
It did not leak much and the fluid level is still OK.
This has happened more than once and worry about something serious
going on. Any comments appreciated.
Thanks, Al Green

Could be any number of things. The power steering fluid thing has me
a little confused. Normally, the fluid being pushed out of the
reservoir will only happen with repeated steering while the engine is
not running. I'd recommend taking it in to be checked if you can be
reasonably assured the noise will occur for the shop.
Can you describe the noise with an onomatopoeia (e.g., buzz, tick,
knock, rumble, hum)?
Does it occur more typically on a cold start?

Thanks for your response. A word to describe the noise is difficult.
Sort of like a bearing in need of lubrication. Right now it is
quiet. The power steering fluid symptom did not happen with the first
noise event, but it seemed definitely related to the most recent. The
level now is right at the minimum level.
Does Hyundai require a special fluid?
Thanks again, Al Green

Your Santa Fe uses Dexron as power steering fluid.
