Why does my 1995 mercury cougar needs steering fluid every three days and car pulls to the right?

Answer 1

Hey man, check your lines, follow them directly from the bottom of the Power Steering reservoir to wherever they go. Check for cuts and gashes in those lines. You should do this with your engine ON and running! This will put the fluid under pressure, and if there is in fact a leak, you will easily be able to see it. If at all possible, have a friend turn your wheels left and right while you are checking, because that puts greater pressure on the system, which works even better. If you don't see anything, check where your hoses meet your reservoir tank, and your power steering system. If your clips are loose, the fluid can gush out. Finally, if all of the above fails, check your actual tank, you could have a hidden crack that is leaking when the system is under pressure, I hope this helps and good luck! If you have any more questions for your cougar (I own the same one :D) just ask!
