    Exclamation Please help major problems

    Hey

    Started my VN this morning to do a service etc I had a leak which I thought was pwr steeing fluid because I had to keep topping up as it was making a noise when steering.

    Anyway to cut a long story short, when i was moving it to put it up on the ramps in my garage something blew & it started pissin out pinky & reddish fluid everywhere so much it shot up all under the bonnet fuc&in everywhere!! All over the rd (neigbours are pissed)

    I thought it was a leak in my pwr steering pump but I think it could be worse in that when I started it up next I put it in gear & it wouldn't drive or move anywhere just revved out. Started blowing smoke & **** and more pink fluid was coming out the botton & sparying everywhere. I checked the trannie level & its bone dry. WTF has happened? It is a seal somewhere? Is there any connection to the pwr steering pump & the tranny?

    Please help..

    No connections between the p/s and trans but I would be checking the trans cooler lines.

    Found the problem, turns out to be a hose that runs to the trannie pressure guage. It has popped off the t-piece. So was a simple fix.


    Whats the best way to clean up trannie fluid?
