Should you drive to the mechanic with a major power steering fluid leak in a Ford F-250 Diesel?
Depends on how far you have to drive the vehicle. If the steering pump runs dry. it will become damaged and need replacement. If the mechanic is close enough to you and the pump reservoir does not run out of fluid within that driving time, it would be okay to drive to them. Most leaks in Power Steering occur when the steering pressure hose fails and starts leaking. Replacement of the hose is a fairly simple and easy job with your truck, and a lot less expensive than a steering pump. start your truck and have a friend turn the steering wheel while you watch the pump-steering box area under the hood. You should be able to see right away if the hose is leaking. Safety glasses reccomended.
