Default Impala help

So I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but my step mom just got a 2000 impala and it's leAking power steering and sounds like some type of whale when it's doing so. The pump was replaced a year ago and then again earlier this week but it's still leaking, although not as bad. The mechanic isn't sure what's wrong with it so i was wondering if anyone has any idea of whAt could be wrong.

or the power steering cooler or either the high/low pressure lines. There are lots of places for it to leak. Take it to a do it yourself car wash and wash down the engine very good.

Another show Lady- Why does your car say Corvette on the engine? We have a Corvette and your car doesn't look like one. LMFAO
