Did not seem to loose any fluid. Checked fluid level and shows to be full. Have turned wheel hard left and hard right many times and does fill to be loosening a little. Also when i jack it up and engine not running, I can turn wheels by grabbing one of the wheels and forcing right and left, but if engine is running I can not turn the wheels by hand at all by thebabove method. Thanks for all help

that sounds ok as running you want a stiff straight ahead roll,make sure your belt to pump is gripping good,a slight slip goes unoticed some time
