Default power steering bleeding after pipes change

hi,

i changed my classic impreza(my99) power steering pipes, actually i renewed hose parts. i've done before many times.(other vehicles)

but system is not bleeding itself. oil level is ok, but whining sound still there

system is not leaking and steering wheel movements are normal

i turned steering wheel end to end but system is not bleeding

am i doing something wrong?

was pump ok before changing the pipes ? or is that why you changed the pipes due to pump noise ? as above o ring probably needs changing , pump on way out ? or there is still an air leak somewhere ? 👍

pump was ok before, i changed pipes because of hydraulic leaks, the pump did not work without oil

i noticed this, when I turn the steering wheel to the right and left to bleed, the sound decreases, but for example, when I check it again after 1 day, the sound comes back, I think system getting air from somewhere, but there is no leakage, no dripping

maybe o ring? i'll change o ring
