Notes:

Power steering pumps cannot be repaired. If
problems in the pump are suspected carry out
pressure and leakage tests. Replace the pump
if it is malfunctioning.
Check steering system for leaks if the fluid level
in the reservoir is low.
If there are leaks at the line connections first
tighten connections, wipe dry and then re-check
for leaks.
