When
to
Check
Power Steering
Fluid
It is not necessary to regularly check power steering
fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or
you hear an unusual noise.
A
fluid loss
in
this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected
and repaired.
When the engine compartment
is
hot, the level should be
at the
HOT
mark.
If
the fluid
is
at
the
ADD
mark, you
should add fluid.
