POWER STEERING LEAKS

​On older cars that are not equipped with Electronic Power Steering, they use circulating fluid to create smooth Steering. Unfortunately when the Steering is no longer smooth, it typically means there is a fluid leak. We regularly get told of red or greenish oil leaking onto the ground with power steering issues. A failure could be a line that has rusted out, failed seal on a power and/or even a failed power steering rack. Pictured is a power steering rack that has failed with a slow leak out of the seal. Everytime the wheel is pointed left or right some fluid escapes from a worn seal. The fix is replacing the failed part.
