I was working on my rl and noticed that it was almost empty and not sure what kind of fluid goes in here it's on the passenger side. Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Power steering fluid

 

^+1

 

Honda power steering fluid.

 

You guys think 1 bottle is good?

 

Yea. Never seen it need filling. Check for a leak.

 

No leaks from what I see but does mileage have anytbingvwith it being low 119k??

 

Did you look at the steering rack as well?

 

No I didn't what's the best way to check that? Sorry I'm a bit handicapped my health isn't the best and it's been really hot here in California 100+ but Today seems nice enough to take a look.

 

if steering rack went bad, there will be oil (power steering fluid) dripping near the firewall.

btw, the powersteering pumps do go bad, and a rebuild (replacement of seals) will usually fix the problem.

any whining?
is steering wheel unusually hard to turn?

 

No whinning and steering wheel turns oh Sooo softly just ordered some Honda power steering fluid so I will top it off soon thanks for the help everyone.

 

Sounds good. Fill it back up and keep an eye on it :thumbup:
