how's the oil level?

 

[wagonb0y]

was just waiting for it to cool down and have another look didnt look to bad... i hope thats all it is

cool down? did you check the power steering oil or the engine oil? check the power steering oil in the container to the left. there's a minimum and maximum mark on the outside of it. is there a red oil on the driveway under the car?

 

[wagonb0y]

No not that i can see i will go move it to another spot where i can see better,
i wasnt sure if the oil was like engine oil and let it cool down to see how much is in there...

just chect the oil level first and go from there. it might only be dribbling out under pressure. mine's leaking a bit too but i've never seen oil on the drive, i just notice the level going down. when it gets down the steering makes a noise, especially when the car is cold.

I just went and moved it and it didnt make a noise but was a tad tight i put some oil in it and it took a bit, but it was going down as i was putting it in unless that was it just going into the lines?
Also i have a powerup boost control, i want to wind the boost down but the little buttons are hard are they ment to be? or how do you work the the controller?
thanks guys

If it's making a squealing noise it could be just the p/steer belt slipping..:thumbsup:
