you can still drive the car but its not recommended, its pretty hard on the Power Steering pump
What will happen if u I added power steering fluid to a leaking power steering pump
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.
excessive noise even though belt tension is good, or when power steering fluid is leaking out the shaft seal.
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.
sounds like transmisstion fluid or power steering.
That's automatic transmission fluid , or power steering fluid , so it would depend on where it is leaking from
Yes, the vehicle is still driveable, assuming total fluid loss from the leak isn't instant. No, disconnecting the belt is not an option, it will just make it really hard to steer and will still leak. If the entire system is drained of fluid then yes, total loss of steering is possible, though unlikely, as long as the fluid reservoir is never allowed to empty. That said, repair should be made sooner than later. The leaking oil is not very enviro-friendly and you will either spend money on fluid now and the repair later or you will spend money on the repair now and not on fluid at all. Do the math.
The fluid is over filled.
