I noticed last week i heard a strange noise when i turned the car. We checked the car no power steering fluid. We put some in Sunday and on wednday had to put some more again. Ironically the water pump blew on wednesday so when the mechanic changed the water pump he said he didn't see the leak. I put some more power steering fluid in on wednesday. It seems i am putting fluid in every three days. The noise is pretty loud when you turn and i don't have any money until next friday to get the car fixed. Is there any sealant to use or is it possible a leak or is something broken. When i poured the power sterring in this evening after i put some in earlier today i noticed the resovoir is brown. Help!! I have to drive to work for the next couple of days as i have doctors appointments that are urgent. I was told to try to get some sealant but is it too late?
Help my 91 eldorado caddy is leaking power steering fluid?
There are products in auto parts stores that claim to stop the leak; I have no personal experience with them. Read the labels and try to choose the best one
Help my 91 eldorado caddy is leaking power steering fluid?
look under the vehicle , if it has a return line cooler (looks like a really small rad) these were common problems for leaks, if so , you can cut the steel portion of the line flare the end with a brake line flare tool , slip on some higher pressure hose with gear clamps , tighten and refill the res turn the wheel back and forth (vehicle off) about 12 times lock to lock to bleed the air out , check fluid and try this. the noise you are hearing is the internals of the ps pump. no sealant will fix that bad of a leak. but lucas ps additive will help with pump noise.
well being low on fluid wouldnt necesarily cause any noise jus rough turning.... if its a grinding noise and the steering wheels seems to catch it is more than likely your rack an pinion assembly
don't think that it is to late but seeing how your me ch looked at it and found now leak it may not be leaking or your me ch didn't look your steering SYSTEM may have got ting air bound and as you try to turn your wheel it blows the Fluid out the feeler cap?
but with out my salf getting in underneath that is the best i can say
