He guys,
I finally encountered my first problem in Windsor for the year, not to mention Thanksgiving weekend is approaching fast and I need to fix this bad boy to get home. Last night I was about 1km from home and I began to loose all my power steering and the pump was making one heck of a weird noise so I pulled in the driveway and shut her down.
When I first heard the sound I also felt a lack of steering. I made 5 more turns from that point before I was parked and the motor was shut off. Since this was last night and it was dark I checked the resevoir only and there was no fluid in it. Now obviously there is a leak somewhere and if its just a leak it wont be too bad to fix. Now my real concern is I do not know how much fluid is left in the system. So even if I "fix" this leak could the pump or steering gear be damaged? I just need some imput on what to do :(
