Losing PAS fluid at quite a rate
« on: 20 March 2015, 20:19:16 »
As above. Is there a likely place to start looking for this leak. Having to top up every week  :'(

I'm using Dex II which I believe is correct (I understand that using Dex III would pee out as it's thinner).

There's no obvious signs of loss from around the PAS reservoir so it looks like i'll have to remove some stuff to get down to the pump area (I presume its one of the connections in this area?

Any hints, tips or tricks welcome  :y

Place a board under neath with the engine running... Allow to warm up, turn it lock to lock a few times, then leave it to cool and see what pours out where :y

Don't forget the cooler, across in front of front fans low down...

There is a pipe that runs along near bottom of rad in a u shape ,this is the pas cooler,they tend to corrode,but you must be leaving a big puddle every time you park up.

There's an ATF gearbox box cooler in the side of the rad & a U shaped (on its side) PAS fluid cooler in front of the rad  :y

No,no and no.

Transmission cooler is either built into the main rad or located separately between the aircon condenser and the main rad.

Power steering cooler runs across the bottom of rhe front fans. Has a section of rubber hose at one end held on by jubilee clips. Cooler itself is the pipe and clips to the front fan cable tray.
