    power steering problem...

    I'm having a problem with the power steering. When I turn the wheel left and right It's making so much noise. So I checked the fluid and it was low and I've added some atf dexron III. After a minute it started to leak from the bottom, right next to left front tire. And I checked the fluid again, half of it was gone so I removed the other half to stop the leak :( kind of sucked.

    check PS hoses... sometimes clamp on the bottom of the PS fluid bottle comes loose or off and it starts leaking a lot.

      Could be a power steering line if it is leaking on that side or it could be a rack. Need to clean the engine bay (degrease and power wash) area around the fluid reservoir (everywhere top to bottom and underneath) and then top it off and then crank it up and turn back and forth to see where it is leaking from.

        ^^ alright thanks guys. I'll probably have it checked by my mechanic after I get the title. Now I'm looking for best insurance rate.
