Changed Power steering fluid

[patholiar]

Did you guys drain the resevoir right above the steering rack, or the small resevoir in the fron of the car, that says 'ATF Oil' on it?

I am asking because the dealership said my power steering lines from resevoir to pump was leaking. However...only the hoses connected to the resevoir at the front of the car looks like its leaking. Are those the power steering lines too?

I used the turkey basting bulb, it's better (albeit messier) to drain the tank but so far for me no problem and my X is turning 8.5 years soon..

Also I suggest for eveyone to just call the dealer for proper PS fluid. I called 2 dealers and both told me to get any Dextron III for my 2002 4.4i since none of them even stock any PS fluid. Can't imagine putting wrong fluid in the tank.

I did the turkey baster method a few months back. But I used Royal Purple's Max ATF. I like their products, have them in both diffs, transfer case, transmission, oil, and power steering.
