My boyfriend and I were doing an oil change and my car had been off for a days and a half and I left to the store to come back to my boyfriend showing me that all my power steering fluid had leaked out. Which is extremely weird because prior to this I've had no problems at all. I'm at a loss. I'm what is going on and any advice helps!!! A little background on my car.... I just recently found a small/slow engine leak unsure of where it is coming from just yet. I had thought the dipstick said it was empty and instead of waiting for my boyfriend to double check I put 3 quarts too much in ... Once that happened we ran the car once to move the parking spot but other than that we have not.. And noe since its been off the power steering is now almost completely drained.. HELPPP PLEASE!!!!!

 

The power steering system is pretty simple. The pump, fluid reservoir, some hoses, and the power steering rack. Try to find where the leak is coming from. Look for components that have fluid on them and find the highest spot.

Pay close attention if you were working near a power steering component when doing the oil change.
