so i made the jump to lexus-have always had toyotas or chevy
this time im sorry-but i got such a great deal on it i couldnt refuse-its an 01 rx300 2wd with 122k miles
all seems great except the p/s is whining horrible esp on cold start up
not a big deal i thought ill bleed and flush the system right?
well today i opened the hood and started it cold and the noise is from the trans/convertor area!
tranny seems to work fine but man its whiney-fluid is good red and full no metal in it
what should i do?
sell it,blow it up or run it till she dies?
thanks guys -should have checked this site before i bought it huh?

def the tranny-front pump whining
so i decided to change filter and fluid-the old fluid was red and ok-level was good
well i dropped the pan and the filter and noticed that the o ring just fell out-im thinking that the trans was sucking air as the o ring wasnt tight enough and caused an air leak maybe it stretched over time?
replaced o ring and filter added fresh amsoil and shes quiet as a mouse!
btw the filter was pretty dirty but there wasnt anyting in the pan or on the magnets
so far ive gone about 200 miles and everything is good-hopefully it will stay that way
