How is a 2010 vehicle still using hydraulic power steering?

I had similar issue with my power steering pump. It kept shorting oil . The steering will get stiff and hard and would hear a whining noise. I use to carry a small bottle of fluid with me at the time. Every time the steering gets stiff I will than top the fluid.. It was tedious after a while....

So I had a mechanic checked it out. Thank God it was a steering hose that was leaking. So steering hose was replaced and problem solved... Have your mechanic check or trace the leaks.. Have them check the hose. Have them do all these things before concluding that steering pump needs replacement.



For your transmission please don't mess with it . If your transmission fluid is still pinkish in color leave it. If it is dark change it with the recommended fluid. Transmission are very delicate , you dont want to mess with it unless it needs changing

Replacement gear box for your car is expensive. Better leave it alone. Gear oil is not like normal engine oil that you change frequently.

Make you no go use your hand spoil your car.

As for your power steering oil, just see a good mechanic. Don't be afraid of appearing like novice. We all were once novices. Yes, the mechanic fit chop you if they are dishonest. But in all, you will learn with time.

You may watch YouTube videos to understand why your oil may be leaking. This helps.
