Power Steering Fluid For Leaks

CAUTION:
  • Wipe the leaked fluid off after correcting fluid leaks.
  • Also pay attention to interference between hoses or pipes and other parts when inspecting fluid leaks.
  • If any power steering fluid is spilt over the exhaust pipe, wipe it off with a cloth to avoid emitting smoke or causing a fire.

Check the underside of oil pump, gearbox of power steering system, hoses, pipes and their couplings for fluid leaks.

If fluid leakage is found, tighten the mounting bolt (or nut) again or replace with a new part.
