What causes power steering fluid leakage in the 10th-generation Honda Accord?

[KaydenLynn]

Honda 10th-generation Accord power steering fluid leakage reasons are as follows: Power steering gearbox leakage: Leakage occurs at the two bottom holes and smooth surfaces inside the steering gearbox, or through threaded holes. This happens when original threaded holes are drilled through, or when there are long cracks at the top of threaded holes during warranty period, allowing fluid to seep outward along the threads. Bottom cover leakage: Bottom cover leakage mainly results from casting issues, causing uneven cover surfaces or misalignment between guide holes and two planes, leading to improper riveting or guide tube deviation. Gasket partial seepage: Gasket seepage often occurs when using cardboard gaskets, as cardboard has strong oil absorption. Combined with uneven bolt torque causing side cover and bottom cover deformation, improper gasket quantity adjustment will result in leakage.
