jerryrigginson Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I think the guy i bought the car from used regular power steering fluid because i found a bottle under the seat . I poured dextron3 auto transmission fluid on top of that. Is this a cause for concearn possibly? What would you do in this situation? Also i was wondering where is the cheapest place to get headlight lenses or the whole assembly online. '93 sc400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerryrigginson Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 i am sure draining it is fun, Its dark out now so i cant really look but i will have to remove some pannels to get to the drain plug right? Changeing the oil for the first time also tomarrow, cant wait HAHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 actually it is not hard just disconnect the return line from the resvoiur and start the engine to lush it out then fill with proper fluid ,you may need to repeat if it has been in their for a while,but considering it was kept in the car it probably has a leaking pump right onto your alternator,very common problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryrigginson Posted December 22, 2004 Author Share Posted December 22, 2004 so the actual pump leaks? or just some connections usually leak. you are basicly saying i need to replace the power steering pump right. I read somewhere there were o rings in the p.s. lines that go bad or something like that. Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
