Where can I find the steering wheel fluid reservoir and how much should I put? What brand is the best?

Good afternoon,

The fill is on top of the pump. The pump is at the bottom of the engine back by the firewall. It is a pain to get back there to the fill cap. You will need a long thin funnel to add the fluid.

What do you think about this product? It claims to stop leaks.

When power steering fluid pump reservoir is low, can you just re-fill it or do you have to bleed out the old and put the new in?

Is the power steering switch a solution to leakage?

Okay, no sealer, ever. That stuff is junk and never works.

It will not stop the leak and will destroy the seals and you will end up replacing the pump and steering rack.

Yes, you can just add fluid to it.

As far as the switch, only if it is the source of the leak.
