    Power steering pump is loud AS F today. Just started. Fluid is topped off, no leaks or recent issues.Not 100% certain it is for sure the pump, but it certainly sounds it. Bearingy whiney sounds, perhaps a idler pulley? No change with a/c on or off so i write off that.

    Car is mostly stock at 70k miles. Common issue?

    It is the A/C Compressor clutch. I drove it today and on the way home. THE WORST smelling burnt clutch of all time.

    Pop the hood and i can see the pulley (With A/C On) doing things... It's not supposed to do lol
