.... Power steering fluid? I had my P/S hoses changed under warranty about 3 weeks ago. Apparently this is a common fault with the VZs. My car only had 35'000km on it. It was leaving lovely little pink puddles on my driveway.

And not trying to be "arrogant" as you put it, but I agree with the other that your posts are somewhat irritating to read!

so is it power steering or coolant? im confused. what colour are they is this model? is it your R/H side looking into the engine or the cars right hand side as if you were sitting in it? just sold my car so i cant remember where the power steering resivour was. i know the coolent one was on the right hand side as if you are looking directly into the engine. is the power steering of the left?

How much fluid is dripping ?? is it think or thin ?? sounds to me like a Split radiator, not completely uncommon, my advice is to check the side tanks of the radiator near the battery and the airbox... normally you cant see the crack but you can see moister dripping out...

as for people giving you a hard time, Sorry to here some people are too immature to help people on this forum

Are you Positive there is No dipstick ??? either way i would be talking to an auto specialist and getting it changed every 40k , Ive seen to many autos go early because Holden don't even recommend that you change it...
