OK some how my power steering resivuor(however u spell that) fell off its bracket and into the pullys causing it to make a hole in it. I ordered a new resivuor and it seems simple enough to replace. My 2 questions are, first is the power steering lines pressurised or can i just undo them and put them on the new one... and secondly, has this BS ever happened to anyone else???? thanks fellas....

 

No they are not pressurized. Be very careful with PS fluid. It's highly caustic and will eat through the paint on your car.

After you hook everything up, take off the cover on the resevoir, start the car, keep it in park and turn the wheel all the way from the left to the right a few times to get the air out of the system. Fill with additional fluid, make sure it's between the two lines on the resevoir.

 

ok thanks man
it leaked all over my belts and shit, all on the left side of the engine bay, should i be worried/ or have to replace belts and stuff?

 

you may want to buy oem fluid. otherwise your pump will become noisy

 

y7ah i got OEM fluids... I'm just worried about nsxnexts comment about it being caustic.. it won't eat through stuff in my engine bay will it?

 

only thing it does is it just chews up the paint same thing with brake fluid
