Honda Civic 1999 power steering leaking?
I realized my power steering is leaking but I'm not sure where from. I'm assuming it's my rack and pinion. So i ended up taking it to a mechanic and he said it's not my rack and pinion it's just my inner tie rods. But I'm questioning if he even knows what he's talking about.
I have a Honda Civic 1999.
Go find a different mechanic and get another opinion.
If you have to service the power steering fluid, there's a leak in the system. It is either a leak in the pump, the hoses or the rack. Find another mechanic.
Inner tie rods don't leak.
If there's fluid coming out of the bellow boots by the tie rods the rack seals are hardened and leaking. I've had great luck with using LUCAS power steering additive. It takes a good 6 weeks for it to recondition the rubber seals but it will save you the cost of replacing the rack and pinion.
- Power steering fluid keeps going below minimum level in my 2015 Honda Pilot? Hi, I drive a 2015 Honda Pilot which I bought in June of this year. Since then, I've had to refill power steering fluid 3 times because it falls below minimum level after a short period. I have not seen any fluid drops on the ground. I will bring the car to the dealership but is there anything I can do besides refilling the fluid again, so I don't have to make tbe trip to the dealership?

- Does power steering fluid get hot if the car is just running and the steering isn't being used? If the pump is just spinning, recirculating fluid and nothing else… Would it still get hot? I had to bypass the pump from the rack and have the fluid recirculate. Would the pump get hot from just spinning? I know 8th gen Honda's don't have a cooler for the power steering anyways.
- Why is coolant leaking from the ends of my top radiator hose on my 1999 honda civic? There isn't water leaking from anywhere else and it only seems to leak when the car has since cooled. It's never enough coolant for me to have to keep filling it up. I have changed the hose and it still seems to be leaking from the end seams. Any help is appreciated. d16y7 aluminum radiator 1.1 rad cap
