Hello all. Got an annoying problem with my Astra G 1.7Cdti SXi model. Changed the alternator about 6 months ago and have started to notice a problem with the power steering. First thing in the morning when cold and especially in winter the power steering does not work and normally after about 10 mins or so and a restart of the engine it starts working again drives normally.
As I've changed the alternator due to the fact that was the problem before, when the battery was not charging properly and I had no power steering.
I have noticed that when I have driven the car without power steering, the fluid had pushed itself out.
I have searched through the forums and couldn't find any similar problems that others may have had. Unless im wrong and there is.

As this is an electric power steering pump, could this be the problem?

Appreciate if someone could help or point out what could be the problem?
