could be several places, Power Steering hose, rack and pinion (or steering gear box) or power steering pump.
No!
Its at the back and below the engine.. to fill it pull the dipstick marked POWER STEERING which is at the back of the engine to the left of the airfilter box.. and add fluid to the level marks on the dipstick
If the reservoir keeps losing fluid.
Not as bad as putting a little bit of power steering fluid in the brake reservoir, but I would have the power steering system flushed just the same. Problems wouldn't happen soon but in the long term they will.
yes, the real question is, how different is its odor from brake fluid odor?
check power steering fluid level
power steering fluid not filled?
Synthetic power steering fluid from the dealer only. Do NOT mix drugstore power steering fluid, ATF, or non-synthetic fluid in your steering system. Damage to the seals/gaskets could result in leaks.
The problem is probably in the steering gear. Clogged passages in steering gear. Leaks in steering gear.
Faulty power steering pump, bad power steering fluid, insufficient or excessive power steering fluid.
IS the belt turning the power steering pump backwards
If the power steering fluid leaks out the steering would become very stiff, and perhaps "lock" if the car were parked.
mine needed power steering fluid
the car may be low on power steering fluid
Check your power steering fluid.
It's either transmission fluid or power steering fluid. Some fords use transmission fluid for the power steering. Check both fluid levels as per your owners Manual
change the power steering fluid
