I THINK I HAVE A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT TYPE OF FLUID CAN I USE, AND HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? WHERE SHOULD I LOOK, SO FAR IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS COMMING FROM ONE THE HOSESBECAUSE THEY ARE WET WITH FLUID BUT NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK. OH YEAH ITS A 04 V70.
THANKS ROB

 

I'm sure someone knowledgable will answer this, but I know I have seen threads on this topic. You might try searching. I vaguely remember reading a discussion about using Automatic Transmission Fluid vs Power Steering Fluid. (To answer your other question, I haven't experienced this problem.)

 

Get some Vavoline synthetic fluid with sealers.

This one.

Most likely it is leaking at the return hose at the pump or at the fluid bottle bottom hose.

 

yea what tech said, i used that and it worked great, unfortunatly my leak was from the wrack its self, but it made it last until payday.
