  • power steering fluid disapeering

    I don't know why but my power steering fluid is getting low real fast..i don't think it's a leak bc there's no fluids dripping or a puddle or such and i didn't kno you could burn power steering fluid but does anyone have any ideas?

    you cant bun power steering fluid unless you have a stock power steering cooler and a head/intake gasket leak.

    the fluid likes to leak down below the car where the hoses are, and you wont notice it because it flysoff of the car while driving

      Check:

      Boots on the side of the rack (leaking tie rod seals)
      Back of power steering pump (leaking rear pump seal)

      If the front shaft seal on the pump is leaking, you'll see spots of fluid flung all over the front of the engine bay.
