1. Park your car on a level surface and turn off the engine. Allow the engine to cool down completely if it is hot.
2. Open the hood of your car.
3. Locate the power steering fluid reservoir. It is usually a translucent plastic tank located on the driver's side of the engine compartment.
4. Check the fluid level in the reservoir. The fluid should be between the "FULL" and "ADD" marks on the reservoir.
5. Inspect the reservoir for any signs of leaks. Look for any cracks or holes in the reservoir, as well as any fluid seeping out from around the cap.
6. Check the power steering hoses and lines for any signs of leaks. Look for any cracks, holes, or loose connections.
7. Check the power steering rack for any signs of leaks. Look for any fluid seeping out from around the rack.
If you find any signs of a power steering leak, it is important to have it repaired as soon as possible. Power steering fluid can be harmful if ingested, and a leak can cause your power steering system to fail, which could lead to an accident.
