Fluid Leakage Inspection

Start the engine and idle it.
Turn the steering wheel fully to left or right, to generate the fluid pressure.
CAUTION:
- Do not maintain the steering wheel fully turned for 5 s or more. It is possible that oil temperature can rise and this will negatively affect the oil pump.
Inspect for the fluid leakage at the points indicated in the figure.
