Leaky pump or loss of fluid after a few weeks is caused by leaking rack n pinion. I learned from topping it off about twice before the pump blew a seal. Punctured a pin hole size into the tie rod boot and found that the seals in the rack was leaking. Replaced both for $500 including alignment and problem fixed.
Also the tsx does have a whine from the tranny. My moms 07 corolla has the whine too.
