alright, I know where to put the power steering fluid...whats the best way to find the leak..cuz its leaking somewhere and I know its the power steering....

Have your engine steam cleaned & in a day or so you will be able to see where it is coming from

who steam cleans an engine? and I kinda need to do this without spending more than cost of parts...

Is there a shop that does automobile detailing near you, they can do it, I would not recommend doing it yourself due to the electronic components that are on your motor.

nobody i would trust...good for inspection stickers bad for actual service, thanks for the advice though

It's leaking from the pump seal of a belt pulley.

not that big of a deal, spend a dollar on a can of brake cleaner spray the pump and two lines to find the leak. one line is non pressure the other is high pressure that feeds the rack in your car. the low pressure is just a return line. is the pump making any noise when it is full? does the belt on the car squeel at start up? is the pump working when full? what year and make of car do you own? i can help with this if i have more info? kni8ght43rich@gmail.com

Look for the highest "wet/oily" spot, on the power steering system. Hoses are a good place to start.

If you end up having to go to a mechanic look for ASB certification. That at least assures you a minimum of basic training.

If you don't own a Chilton manual for your car spend the $20 to get one if your local library doesn't have one. It will save you a lot of money and give you a basic guide line on the number of billable hours to expect for most repairs.

Also read your drivers manuel that comes with the car. All of it. Often there is helpful info sometimes even a web site or a 800 ask ? line.

Check and make sure you are not paying for recall work before you spend money on a problem. If it is recall work the dealership will do it and charge the manufacturer not you. Just don't agree to over priced add on work.

Good Luck.

Good Luck.

P.S. If you had your car recently serviced at a quickie lube place it is possible that they did NOT put a drain valve back in all the way in the right way. That happen to me. If you take it back to them they should correct the problem and pay for all labor and new fluids.
