Power Steering fluid level low


Recommended Posts

Today when i picked my boxster up from the bodyshop, the power steering pump was squeling so i put it into service mode and filled her back up and that cured the squel, but my problem is that the fluid ran low about 1.5 months prior to it happening again today. What are some common area of leakage on the boxsters power steering system?

Thanks in Advance!

I was addiding fluid every couple of months. Nothing on the ground. The common cause is the pump return line on tracked cars. But nothing there.

Then I remove the small clamp on the power steering rack bellows and pulled back the bellows. The fluid came out. A bad seal.

I have a January 1997. If that is also your problem it is not common. But Porsche is on the 7th generation rack. Since my car is so old Porsche does not even want my rack for a core.
