We recently inherited (or rather, bought for cheap from his widow) my FIL's 2009 #minivan. It now has a steering fluid #leak. Unfortunately from the rack+pinion. Fortunately(?) only when turning left. The parts are available, but we'll have to save up the coin, its #heckaspensive.
So for now Ill continue to just top up the fluid every few days. And only turn right. I've mapped out routes to/from work and its doable only turning right. Itll be like I'm a FedEx/UPS driver.
@dannotdaniel Yep. The atrocious whine and growl when turning/accelerating when the fluid is low has no problems letting you know when to top up.
If the steering is out entirely then its your pump going bork. Or so I've learned. I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Type SUBSCRIBE for more power steering facts.
