Hey arcarmody, I've been driving it around now since it happened. Still full of fluid. When I topped it up I started the car and turned the steering wheel lock to lock several times to try and find the leak. No joy. There is fluid from r-sole to breakfast time all around the rack and from side to side. There has obviously been quite an appocoliptic event involving the power steer system, but now its its just being pedantic.
What happened originally was, my wife told me about a funny oil leak just outside the roller door to the garage. This was Wed. An oil spill the size of a saucer. Had a quick squiz under the car and saw nothing. Thurs morning drove over town and back and parked in the yard, getting ready to pack for holidays. Visitor comes in and says there is a funny oil leak outside the shed all the way to the road. About 5 - 8 meters long. I investigate and the oil leads straight into the garage! Back to the commodore and I find the fluid just under the dipstick eg. just not registering, and a bloody great mess under the motor and all around the rack. Ditched commy and used car number 2. After hols, topped up p/s fluid and tested, nothing, been driving all around town, nothing!!??? As if nothing has happened, except of course for the absolute mess under the car.
Conundrum.
cheers
Dunno where from yet, it's a bl00dy mess under there, fluid everywhere. Anyhoo, I topped up the power steer fluid with dex3 and so far no leaks?? It's still full?? :hmmm:
