Fluid Leakage Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda Protege5 and 2003 Mazda Protege. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • If the steering wheel is kept in the fully turned position for more than 5 seconds, the fluid temperature will rise excessively and adversely affect the oil pump.
  1. Start the engine and let it idle. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left and right to apply fluid pressure.
    NOTE:
    • The points where fluid leakage may occur are indicated in the figure.
  2. Inspect for fluid leakage.
    • If fluid leakage is found, replace related pipe or hose.
