Power Steering Fluid Leaks: Notes
IMPORTANT:
Verify the exact point of the leak. The point from which the fluid is dripping is not necessarily the point at which the system is leaking. When service is required, clean the leak area upon disassembly, replace the leaking seal, check the component sealing surfaces for damage, and reset the torque bolt to specifications where it's required.
Inspect the following:
- Fluid reservoir for overfill
- Fluid for aeration and overflow
- Hoses for loose connections
- Torsion bar, stub shaft, and adjuster seals for leaks
- Component sealing surfaces for damage
