Power Steering help?

[w17led]

Hi Chaps,

I have a slight problem, i hope!

After a 2 housr drive yetserday in my cab, i got to the last bend which turns into my close, and the steering wheel went very stiff.

After parking the car, i realised my Power steering oil had leaked over the past 2 months, now do i just fill it up and hope it would be ok?

Or is there something else i will need to do, obvioulsy i will change the Pipe which is leaking.

I was just going to top it up and start the car, leave it running for a while?

thanks

You'll need to bleed the system.

Jack up the front end and place on axle stands, fill the reservoir and start the engine. Turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times and keep the reservoir topped up.

Job done.

Cheers,
