CAUTION: Do not hold the steering wheel against a stop for more than three to five seconds at a time, as damage to the power steering pump may result.
  1. With engine idling, turn steering wheel left-to-right several times. Check all possible leakage points.
  2. Tighten all loose fittings. Install new lines and seals if damaged.
  3. Check hoses for cut O-ring seals.
