Cedric lauzon Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Hey fellows toyoters . New to the forum and trying my first post ! My 1991 itstaca spirit has been leaking power steering fluid for the last 5000 miles and it is getting worst !!!! it started leaking a little on the passenger side and now it also on the driver side and with the fix leak bottles from Walmart it did not even slow down the leaking . So now I have a place to work on it for a couple of weeks and I look at all these oily parts and don t even know where to start !!!!! kind of like a panic attack ! But , I know there is a solution for everything , Any of you good souls could put me on the right track ....?.....Cannot afford the mechanic. Got to do it myself !!! Thank you . r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek up North Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Clean everything in the area with a pressure washer and brake cleaner. Start the engine and look for leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
