Power Steering Fluid Leakage Check

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Suzuki Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is provided.

Then visually check gear box, P/S pump and P/S fluid reservoir themselves and each joint of their connecting pipes for leakage.

CAUTION: Never keep steering wheel turned fully for longer than 10 seconds.
