Re: Power Steering problem located.

Adam,

I park the shark in the garage over large pieces of new cardboard, and the
one thing I have been extremely proud of is that for a 12 year old card, I
did'nt have one single oil spot!!! Until lately, but still the only one is
by the rear rt tire. One person siad something about bleed valve or change
valve for the power steering might be there..but I highly doubt that. BTW:
Trans fluid is right on.

Hey Ray,

It may not be the same leak. Both the power steering and A/T use automatic
transmission fluid. I would guess that the power steering is leaking ATF
around the boots of your steering rack, and the tranny is leaking, well,
all over. (Welcome to the club).

Ok, I know I am not a mechanic by a long stretch, but I have not had the
chance to look under the hood until last night. I checked the Power
steering
fluid (Thinking that it would be ok, since I show no leaks under the
car..execpt one real slow one by the passenger rear tire...thinking it is
a
small brake leak.) But, low and behold it is really low!! and the same
color
as the leak in the rear!! Ok..so what is a power steering line doing back
there?? And is any type of bleeding necessary?
