Power Steering leak!

[vinj]

Magkano inabot mo vinj? Sobrang lapit ko lng sa cruven fairview. As in kayang lakarin. I'm thinking of getting polyurethane byshings nga sa kanila eh. :D

We probably spent around 5K or 8K... this was in 2006.

Hello all,

I have had problems with power steering fluid leak. I have had the following repairs done:

1. Replace high pressure hose

2. Replace low pressure hose

3. Fixed rack and pinion leak with the repair kit.

This are my questions after all those repairs.

1. Are there other possible source of leaks like the power steering pump itself or steering column?

2. After my rack and pinion was fixed, I heard a humming sound that sometimes comes up. Sounds like it comes from my left front tire but I can feel the vibration on my clutch pedal. Any idea what is the cause? Could my mechanic have done something that would cause the sound?(like remove the suspension assembly on my left tire in the process of fixing the rack and pinion and incorrectly reinstalling it)

3. Had an underwash done and and the sound lessened to a tolerable level and transferred to the right side. Is this normal?

Thanks

Is it a humming sound or more like a low growling sound under the hood?

1. check for any leaks on the ground. try to put a newspaper underneath the car right after you park. if there's leak you should be able to trace it.
2. check PS fluid kung nagbabawas.

After ko magpa repair ng rack, nagkaron din sa pala sa pump, dahil hindi siguro lapat yun pagkakabit ng mga oil seals. dun nanggagaling yun humming/growling sound. kaya pala nauubos din PS fluid ko ng unti unti, nasa ibang part na yun leak.

Just to share my experience. last 2012 my crosswind had a leak, just few drops in a day. if i remember correctly maybe a teaspoon a day. Worried ako so nag research ako , i know its

expensive to repair. what i did was to buy this product cyclo power steering stop leak. poured

one 12oz bottle and that time i did replaced my tires, i felt the old tires are putting more 'stress'
on my power steering ( Uneven wear). what happened was the leak stopped. i don't know if its
due to cyclo or when i had my tires replaced and aligned.

until now it did not leak i can only see moisture at the bottom of the gearbox. its still leaks but
not enough to drop on the ground on my garage maybe on the streets. until now i never add fluid to the reservoir. i might buy again
and replace the old fluid. its been 3 years since i put cyclo.

But still i think its best to have it repaired, but make sure to use original repair kit or good replacement and finding an expert mechanic.

thank you
