Power Steering Fluid

[jerryrigginson]

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.

drain and fill asap to make sure

it is not like normal systems

ps flluid cannot take heat like tranny fluid

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

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

[jerryrigginson]

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?
