Any help appreciated.

Recently, I've been experiencing a pulsation that I feel at idle. At idle, the car revs at/ around 650 rpm and doesn't go any higher but I can feel in my seat a rhythmic pulsation. Similar to when I turn on the AC.

I started to feel this after doing 90k service (spark plug replacement, filters, serpentine belt, etc). Didn't clean out throttle body or ICV. Also, noted that the power steering fluid was low but didn't top off yet. Could this be it? Any ideas?

Thanks, Sanford
