Wasn't AC compressor

Sorry guys and gals,
It was not the AC compressor. The power steering pump failed today. The noise was coming from there it seems now. It got really loud and then stopped suddenly. PS went out immediately. It was a salvage yard pump that I rebuilt myself.

Lucky I still have the original and the new seals. They got dropped off at the local hydrolic shop today.

I think the dealer did leak test

The dealership did leak test because they added dye to the system. I never got a full explanation, but assumed the dye was to check for leaks.

Enlighten me.

we use nitrogen at diesel school, filled it up and spry everything down with soapy water...any leak will bubble up immediately
