Thread: Power strearing!!!

Omg just got home from work tonight looking to get a nice parking spot (where nobody will bump me) then start the car wheel felt mad stiff,Then i was smelling power strearing fluid got out look under the car fluid on the floor :madop the hood hoping its not my high presure line (just replaced a few months ago) i spent a guapp "alot of money" at the dealer for it now i hope its not the pump,Thats where most of the fluid was wet,im of for work for the rest of the weekend so i got time to figure it out,Back to the shop :o good exuse to put in my prothane mount kit.Everybody ask me why im spending all this money on these cars?? I say love them esp my NX

Is the pump seized can you rotate the pulley wheel? Did you bleed the system when you put in the new line? I would skip the Prothanes until next week and sort the PS stuff this one.

It wouldn't be the pump, it sounds like the line snapped or sprung a leak. If the pump were to seize there wouldn't be any leaking power steering fluid, you'd just have a snapped belt.

I was too lazy to go out to the car today,But when i took a glance last night the fuid was where the pump is.

Yeah I think your right I missed the part about the fluid on the floor

I found the culprit last night it was a rubber hose on the low presure return line,I just loosen the nut slip it back on properley and put new fluid in it,When i changed the high presure line i put all LUCAS power steering repair fluid.It was too thick,On cold mornings its like you got frozen fluid.

Power steering is overrated anyways

does anyones power steering fluid not leak, not even a little bit? mine is always a dab wet at the clamps, but it doesnt really drip.

always. That is what has my subframe all oily and gooey. I took out the rack today and I am putting in a Sentra E rack I got from Dre.
