I've got a 2006 Mustang that I don't drive as often as I use to. Perhaps 4 to 6 times a month about 30 miles and occasionally to the local food mart.

I noticed when I got in it a few weeks ago and turned the steering wheel it moaned as is my power steering fluid was low. I checked it and it was full. The moan is not all the time and it may go away after I drive it a while but then may come back days later .

Has anyone else experienced this? Could I just have air in the line or my pump going bad?

Thanks for your feedback

Sounds like you may have air bound system

meaning, its only air "in" the system? If so, do I need to do anything?

Try spinning the wheel lock to lock (after well warmed up) several times to see if you can work out the air

Meaning you have an air pocket in the system.
