I've had these issues before and it was the pump that was knackered, I bought a reconditioned/rebuilt one for around £80 iirc, no idea if you can DIY it though, wasn't something I was interested in doing!

Fluid has got to be going somewhere matey, not like it can go into the engine. Put cardboard under it and turn it stationary lock to lock with engine running, put a bit of stress on it. Should see it dripping, or jack it up and take a look, should be obvious.

Yeah mate iv tried the card board trick but no luck it seems to go when the car is being used so not an easy one to spotcheers guys
