Ok, a couple of days ago the power steering in my car worked fine, then i wake up in the morning to go to school, and its crazy hard to move the steering wheel, but im already late for school so I just drive it anyways, then when i got to school, I checked the PS fluid resevoir and its drier than the sahara in there, so when I got home, I fill it up with ATF, and I take it around the block, still no PS, so I park it and check again and all the fluid was gone, so I checked all the lines, and there werent any obvious leaks but i can see the ATF drippping from the support beam right below the gear box assembly on the passenger side.
Cliffs Notes:
1) PS works fine.
2) No PS in the morning.
3) No Fluid in the reservoir.
4) Fill the resevoir with ATF
5) Drove around the block.
6) Still no PS.
7) Again No fluid in reservoir.
8) Fluid dripping from a support beam on the passenger side underneath the gear box.
What can this be?
Hopefully this will be easy and cheap to fix!!
another minor problem I have is, whenever I start the car cold or semi-cold it wont idle, and if it does idle it surges from 900 rpm - 400 rpm, until I drive a block or so and then it idles fine.
what could cause this?
this isnt as annoying as having no ps, and I can live with it if its a problem by itself and not a symptom of a greater problem.
thanks sooo much!
