power steering goes again.
June 2015. Power steering hose splits and car towed to dealership to fit a new hose.
been having some whine and screeching while driving for the last 2 days and about 0.5 mile from home, I lost all power steering. limped home and opened the bonnet. No steam like there was previously but could see lots of fluid on the undertray. I don't know if it's another busted hose or a cracked pump. Is there a way to check the power steering fluid level? thanks will need to tow it to somewhere nearby to get it fixed.

The reservoir is under the airbox and you have to remove the airbox to see it.
I think it's the hose. They tend to break relatively easy. |
