Yes, I searched and searched and couldn't find anything, so here goes.
My steering rack has started grinding whenever I turn the wheel. Numerous people have said I need to top off the fluid, but should flush the system just to be safe. I know where the power steering fluid filler cap is, but I have no idea how to get to the drain plug for the reservoir (7afe). Can anybody help? |

Depends on where it's leaking from, but for the most part, I would say yes, most likely. --------------------  She's Alive...... Again!!!

The car was towed home with a tow strap, and now in the garage i see some small (1in) puddles of fluid. I havent been able to start and drive the car properly yet. ill know by then, i searched and didnt see anyone had replaced that yet? difficult?? -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊
