Thread: Power Steering Fluid

My car's making that annoying whine from my power steering. I figure I'll add some fluid or change it if I need to. The problem is that I can't find the damn power steering reservoir anywhere. Wth?! haha

here ya go

yeah its hidden pretty good under the alternator.

I've actually looked back there and didn't see it, so I guess I'll have to look harder. Will I even be able to fit my hand in there to unscrew it? haha

My cars just begun to make this same noise....guess I know my solution.
Found a pic of what you're looking for, well on the 97-03 models

Any kind, if you have a leak put some power steering honey in.

yeah the cap is probably covered in grime like mine was if you look you can find it, you should be able to get your hand down there no prob

What if I don't know if there's a leak or not? Could I add power steering honey just for safe measure?

Looks like I'm making a trip to autozone tomorrow after work lol.

P.S. If addind fluid doesn't stop the whining, what would be the next step? PS motor?

04's are the same spot

I was gonna use that syringe I got from the S/C coupler swap to take out fluid and put some fresh fluid in. Maybe thats what I will do today

Were you just gonna stick the syringe in the reservoir?

Replaced as much of my power steering fluid as I could today.
1) Very much needed long funnel.
2) My ghetto rigged pump, to pump out the old stuff, taped to a water bottle, cuz there is NO WAY of getting two hands back there, plus it worked like a charm
