What makes it undriveable, symptoms
broken hose to the power steering reservoir or the rack on the firewall is leaking badly or the reservoir has a hole in it.
pink liquid is leaking under the van. I think, it is steering pump problem
if its leaking dont try and stop it yourself take it to a body shop it is probably the steering rack. i just had that problem with my 2000 grand prix and it ran me about 600 dollars.
check the weep hole on the bottum of the power steering pump.. if it is leaking the pump could be the problem..
The pulley shaft front seal is where your leak is, I believe. I hope that takes care of your problem.
If you got it fixed at a repair shop or a dealer I'd take it back and have them fix it. If you fixed it yourself, it could be as simple as that you forgot to replace an o-ring on the power steering pump line.. If I knew where it was leaking, I could help you pin point the problem.
No, my steering is fine.
Removing the heater core is a fairly involved process including removing the steering wheel, steering column, dash, and heater box. If the core is leaking, this will need to be done. If the problem is just lack of heat, more likely the problem is operation of the blend door. Check www.heatertreater.net for diagnostic information and an inexpensive fix for the problem.
Check and make sure the rack is not also leaking. I ended up replacing the entire system (everything that had power steering fluid run through it) in my 94. Also the power steering pump turned my fan - you run out of P/S fluid and your transmission burns up.
If the fluid is coming from near the front bumper then your steering box is leaking. It is pretty common problem. Usually the seals wear out and fluid leaks by. To fix it you can try to put some steering leak stop oil in it (lucas oil makes the best), it may take a bottle or two and a few weeks to stop. If not you'll have to replace it.
I have a 1997 mpv with the same problem. I haven't started the repair yet but I am under the impression that a kit is available to replace the leaking seals. I have a shop manual for 1997 . I am willing to post the pages for those who need them.
Replace the leaking part
