Power Steering leak!

**mark1985** · December 10th, 2013 02:24 AM

Hi po mga sirs!

Just want to seek your advise. It seems that my car has leak from the power steering. Bale just yesterday i had oil change in Petron fairview. Just when it was brought up by the hydraulics, may nakita akong unusual na basa sa may left wheel/suspension. I touched it myself and it was oil. So i asked the mechanic if this was normal and he said baka may tagas nga yung power steering ko. He suggested that to isolate the problem i need to have an underwash, only then can they find out where the leak is coming from.

Anyway, hingi lang sana ako ng payo sainyo since i'm not very knowledgeable pagdating sa auto... just really basic stuff. Ano kaya ang maaring cause neto? Any experience you can share?

My car is a 95 galant VR4 by the way.

Hope to hear from you guys, thanks!!

Nag pa-underwash ka sir? Ano sabi nila? It could be anything lalo na nagpachange oil ka kasi naglabas and naglagay sila ng langis.. kaya niya pinapalinis para malaman kung natuluaan lang ba yan or talagang may tagas.. kung machecheck nyo ung oil na nahawakan nyo try to determine ung viscosity nya if similar ba sha sa engine oil/brake fluid/atf..

Hindi pa sir. May lakad din ako kasi nun kaya pinagpaliban ko muna. Hindi ko sigurado kung ano ung viscosity nya yo approximate. Pero i remember hindi sha ganun kalapot. Actually parang atf fluid nga.

Kulay pula dapat, or just check yun PS fluid reservoir kung nagbabawas

check mo rin mga hose kung may signs ng wetness. lalo na yung mga galing sa reservoir.

Ah sige. Thanks for the input. Usually ba hose ang nassira at wear and tear jan?

easiest way to do that is to check your PS fluid reservoir. tignan mo kung bawas na.

Pwedeng hose. Pero pwede din na doon mismo sa gearbox ang problema dahil baka bumigay mga oil seals at o-ring nun.

sa akin may leak na din power steering...
normal na yata yan para sa mga lumang kotse natin...
dahil sa hose yan.. sa akin binabalewala ko nalang yan.
konti lang naman tagas. ginagawa ko nililinis ko nalang ng running
water yung oil na tumagas para hindi makasira ng ibang pyesa
then dagdag nalang ng steering fluid konti lang naman leak..

pero kung hindi ka kampante e di pagawa mo nalang. madali lang sa mekaniko yan basta may datung

Ah ok. Paayos ko naman yan probably this weekend. Hindi naman sya nakakacompromise sa safety if i drive it for a couple more days?

Salamat sa mga reply sirs!
