Why is the power steering fluid reservoir spraying oil?
1 Answers
Possible causes for this phenomenon may include blockage in the power steering fluid lines. Solutions for power steering fluid blockage are as follows: Thorough Cleaning: When replacing the power steering fluid, start the car first and use a fluid extractor to remove all the old fluid. Inject new power steering fluid, then turn the steering wheel back and forth to allow the new fluid to circulate, which also serves as a cleaning process. Fluid Drainage: For thorough circulation, it's best to turn the steering wheel sharply left and right, then gently turn it left and right again. However, the purpose of turning the steering wheel back and forth is to expel the old fluid from the steering gear. Avoid holding the steering wheel at full lock for extended periods, as this can cause excessive fluid pressure and lead to fluid spraying out.
