Hi everyone,
Just yesterday my steering became suddenly very noisy and a little sluggish. Looking for some advice on how to tackle this problem. I have not investigated too much into this problem yet, but here is what I know so far.
1) The power steering fluid reservoir is full.
2) The vehicle is leaking a small amount of clear fluid from the right/passenger side of the engine.
that's all I know right now. Very limited I know. This afternoon I plan to check all of the lines between the reservoir, pump and rack and then maybe flush the system. I only know to do this after some very limited internet research right now. Funds are tight these days so I would like to do this myself if at all possible. So i am looking for tips on how to tackle the full diagnosis and fix. Also, how problematic is it to drive with it this way for a couple days in case I can't fix it all today? I commute about 10 miles round trip all on city streets.
Thanks for the help!
