Subject: had a power steering leak?
IP: Logged

Message:
i just noticed a leak in my power steering, i felt an odd vibration in the wheel at a stop and checked the reservoir and it was empty

within the last two months i had drained the system and put in fresh fluid, my truck is a 99 with rack and pinion

wondering if anyone else had a leak start on them. is it usually a hose that just goes or could it be something more serious?

gonna take it to my favorite shop, maybe they can put a die in the fluid to check for leaks, i don't know

thanks

if you had a leak that big you would have oil puddles on your driveway, really big ones, my wife's concorde has a small leak in the rack it goes down about 2 onces a year, not enough for me to worry about, and that small I can go through a lot of fluid before it behoves me to fix it. anyway I had her start parking in another place last spring and you would not believe how big the oil stain is, and yes after having my mechanic go over it, it is only PS fluid.

My rack and pinion leaks but it goes down very slowly so i just put in a little bit every once in a while because it costs like 170 to fix.
