Checking The Steering System For Leaks (Visual Check)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
With engine idling, turn steering wheel as far as the stop and hold still. The maximum possible line pressure results in this way.
In this position, check all pipe connections for leaks.
Perform the check for a maximum of 10 seconds. A longer check should always be interrupted by a brief pause after approx. 10 seconds.
