Power steering Question
Guys I have had this annoying leak for sometime and thought it could of been my oil pan, but I heard my power steering making a whiny noise. So I check the reserve, pretty empty. So I refill and check 3 days later, reserve is somewhat down about 1/4 then when I initially filled it to.
Also there is power steering fluid around the top of the screw cap.
1. So I have air trap in my steering lines? I did do a cam swap.
2. Or is my power steering unit bad a should be replaced.
Thanks. :cheers:

Re: Power steering Question (2KVetteMan)
Bleeding the system is simple rotating the steering wheel far left and far right.
I check the hoses and fitting for leaks first.
Then look for leaks at the ends of the steering rack.
Cracked reservoir?
Torn or bad seal on the reservoir cap?

Re: Power steering Question (Kenny94945)
I was going to check the hoses this weekend. Since I have the power steering unit off and I see sludge pretty much all over the lines. :U . I am going to check for a crack hose or something.
Might be easier to replace the whole damn thing and be done with it.
Does anyone know the price for a new unit. :cheers:
