Q: Power steering fluid leaking
Car is howling, squealing. I put power steering fluid in it and ran out about 15 miles and looked and saw about a quarter of the power steering fluid on the ground . Added 6 oz. Fluid and it is leaking on the drivers side. Since I let it sit for 6 hours it doesn't seem like it has leaked as much.Does that sound like a Power steering pump or a hose?
My car has 136000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
