power steering reservoir location needed

Good afternoon,

That is the transmission dipstick. The power steering in down at the bottom of the motor back by the firewall.

They actually paid someone to design it there. They never thought of us putting it in that location.

do you have to remove the hoses and belts to get to the power steering fluid reservoir?

is there a hack to removing or bleeding out the old power steering black corroded liquid without going to a mechanic shop?

Okay.

Okay, you need a long funnel to get to the fill for the power steering itself. Then you can add the fluid.

As far as changing it, you can use a vacuum bleeder that is used for the brake system. You can remove the fluid and install new fluid. You need to do this several times.

As far as bleeding it, you only need to turn the wheel side to side until it stops several times to bleed it out.

I found the reservoir as I see a cap sort of say that looks like the one from the coolant and oil and windshield washer reservoirs. But, I can't see the levels of how much to fill it up to.

There should be a stick on it when you remove the cap to tell you the level. There will be a fill mark on the stick.

Roy

okay. You've been a world of help.I don't think I could have founded it on my own.
Now, what color should the liquid be?

Red, the color of transmission fluid.

Roy

Otherwise, if it's black then it needs to be flushed out.

That is correct.

Roy

Okay. Thank you again for that invaluable information. I really appreciated. Now, to find an affordable mechanic to do the job.

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.
