Besides having the p/s fluid cause the belt to slip, the p/s fluid will eventually ruin the belt.
No, they are not compatible and it will cause damage.
What will happen if u I added power steering fluid to a leaking power steering pump
If you have rack and pinion steering, the steering gear will need replaced.
The steering pump fluid is low (usually the pump will be noisy at this point) or the steering rack is leaking. In either case the fluid is low due to a leak in the steering system.
The fluid could be leaking from the pump, hoses, or steering rack. Wash the steering system, then you can see where the leak is coming from.
it sounds like your power steering fluid is low,,,,, or your power steering pump is leaking (which means it needs to be replaced)... I hope it turns out to be low steering fluid. If the power steering fluid is low, you can have someone add fluid, but keep and eye on whether or not that fluid level is dropping or leaking. Good luck to you.
Yes, adding brake fund to a P/S system can cause damage.
Mixing hydraulic fluid types will damage the seals in the steering system and cause them to leak.
Noise may be heard in a power steering line when the power steering fluid is low. Low power steering fluid may occur due to a leaking power steering pump in most cases. If the pump is not leaking, then the fluid needs to be added.
my power steering fluid on my 2002 Saturn lw300 started leaking off and on but now i have to put put fluid in everytime i want to drive it.
power steering or transmission
There could be many causes to a car leaking power steering fluid. There could be a hole in the reservoir, or the seals could be worn or broken.
