First you need to see where the leak is. Watch the power system for leaks while someone is turning the steering wheel. Be careful not to get sprayed on. Is it a hose or a leak at the pump or on the rack and pinion steering? Is it even power steering fluid? Could it be transmission fluid? A transmission cooler line could be leaking.
Hello , You could have a leak at the transmission dip stick tube o-ring, the front pump gasket, the torque converter seal , the transmission output shaft seal or the transmission oil cooler lines. I suggest you put the car on a lift to make it easier to see where the leak is coming from.
most likely it is leaking where it connect to the Trans cooler behind the front grill. If the trans lines use clamps you will most likely just need to tighten them up. If it uses quick disconnect fittings you will need to buy a set of quick disconnect tools about 10$ at auto parts store pull the leaking line off and replace the seal inside the line. Good Luck I hope that helps.
This is an interesting one. Where is the transmission fluid leaking from? If it is coming out of the transmission where it meets the engine, then you are looking at replacing the front transmission seal, and to do this you will need to pull the transmission. If it is not leaking at this spot, then you are looking at a line leak, and will need to replace the bad line. There are going to be two lines for the transmission, make sure that yoyu inspect each one of them thoroughly/ They are the usual culprit when a transmission starts to leak.
CHECK UNDER VECHICLE IF TRANSMISSION FLUID UNDER TRANSMISSION MORE LIKELY PAN GASKET LEAKING FLUID.IF FLUID HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED THE PAN GASKET GET HARD LEAKS FLUID.THATS IF YOU HAVE SLOW LEAK.IF YOU LOSING LOTS OF TRANSMISSION FLUID ITS .LEAKING AT TORQUE CONVERTER SHAFT SEAL.LEAKING AT COOLER LINES.CHECK COOLER LINES FROM RADIATOR TO UNDER CAR WHERE COOLER LINES GOES TO TRANSMISSION. AND CHECK LEAKS AT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT AXLES SEALS
Where is it leaking from. It could be a damaged fluid line going to the transmission cooler or the cooler could be damaged. Could even be a damagedtransmission sump.
There is a short stub line coming from the radiator that joins the rubber line to the radiator. squeeze the tabs on the plastic part on the metal line and the rubber part will separate from it. When replacing, be sure it has locked together or you can have a problem.
you need to tighten those fittings with a wrench... if they still leak... remove them and wrap them with a couple turns of "teflon tape" the kind they use for plumbing. the clamps you should use are hose clamps of the same type that you use for radiator hoses... you will note these can be tightened with a socket.... you really don't need to over tighten them but fairly snug... transmission fluid has quite alot of pressure.
Does it matter the direction of the lines on trans cooler
