My 3.8 vr has been sitting for just about a year now and I'm finnaly getting her back on the road, I start her and let her run for 10 mins or so most weeks. My powerstearing reservoir is empty and every time I fill it it drains back out, I took the reservoir off and the seals and hose are fine so it's coming out somewhere else. Any one have any ideas where or how I can chek it out? Thanks
um steering arm boots probably full of oil then, if that's the case prob easiest fix is replace the power steering rack.
Thanks, but more advise would be great guys![]()
All you can do is degrease the area and then inspect. As The1 says, it could be leaking into the boots - try squeezing them and if they are full of fluid you will feel it.
Also, you say "My powerstearing reservoir is empty and every time I fill it it drains back out,".....can you explain a bit more please.

What are the boots? I mean I started my car one day and it had no powerstearing fluid, so bought a 600ml bottle or what ever size it was and poured most of it in, then next time I checked my car the powerstearing fluid was empty again.
keep pouring it in till u c where its coming from.
fix and replace by then
