It sounded like someone was throttling Geese under my hood.
Turns out later model vehicles have a screen in the power steering reservoir (where you fill fluid), and the screen plugs, then no fluid for system.

All you do is drain, then remove the reservoir (was really EZ on this vehicle), then spray dispersant* in the big hose barb, and let it run out top or smaller hose barb.

You can re-claim drained fluid by filtering through a paper towel.
Discard the stuff you spray out, obv.

Silence. For $5

* Brakleen, etc
