Post by: DonFico on March 03, 2013, 07:26:21 PM

Big wasaup to my m42 homies, I felt my steering wheel squeaking and decide to pop open the hood... spot theres leak on right top of power steering fluid reservoir. Is it the sign of bad power steering pump? :confused:

If the top of the reservoir is showing fluid leaked, above the hoses, then the screw cap o-ring is shot and needs to get replaced.
