I have some pictures of my engine bay. I see the brake fluid reservoir, where is the power steering wheel reservoir. I see a red dipstick to the left of the brake fluid reservoir. Is this it? Images (Click to make bigger)ThumbThumb Tuesday, November 26th, 2019 AT 9:28 AM

Good afternoon, That is the transmission dipstick. The power steering in down at the bottom of the motor back by the firewall. They actually paid someone to design it there. They never thought of us putting it in that location. Roy Image (Click to make bigger)Thumb Was this answer helpful?YesNo-1 Tuesday, November 26th, 2019 AT 12:46 PM Tiny PCULQUI

Is there a hack to removing or bleeding out the old power steering black corroded liquid without going to a mechanic shop? Was this answer helpful?YesNo+1 Tuesday, November 26th, 2019 AT 1:05 PM Tiny ASEMASTER6371

Okay, you need a long funnel to get to the fill for the power steering itself. Then you can add the fluid. As far as changing it, you can use a vacuum bleeder that is used for the brake system. You can remove the fluid and install new fluid. You need to do this several times. https://www.2carpros.com/articles/power-steering-fluid-flush As far as bleeding it, you only need to turn the wheel side to side until it stops several times to bleed it out.

I found the reservoir as I see a cap sort of say that looks like the one from the coolant and oil and windshield washer reservoirs. But, I can't see the levels of how much to fill it up to. Was this answer helpful?YesNo Tuesday, November 26th, 2019 AT 4:26 PM Tiny ASEMASTER6371

There should be a stick on it when you remove the cap to tell you the level. There will be a fill mark on the stick. Roy Was this answer helpful?YesNo Tuesday, November 26th, 2019 AT 4:31 PM Tiny PCULQUI
