Help! Power steering fluid
Today, I checked the power steering fluid reservoir and found that there were only about a bit more than half in it. Is it normal? Should I top it up to full level? What kind of fluid should I use? Recently, there has been some sound when I turn steering wheel during driving, is it something to do with the fluid leaking or less-than-normal fluid in the reservior? Dealer told me that I need to replace the whole steering gear/rack to fix the sound problem. I doubt it. Maybe it is caused by leaking pipe of power steering or maybe it is caused by leaking steering pump? Please give me some advice. Thanks for help.
