IUFAN Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 FIrst time here so I appreciate any help. 1997 Camry XLE with 208k miles in Michigan. Last winter I had to keep refillilng the PS fluid but the problem went away when spring came. No problems thru summer or fall. This past week when it sat in the cold weather the problem has returned. Hard to steer and fluid needs to be replenished. Appreciate any guidance on what to start with - pump, hoses and why only when it gets cold. Really appreciate help.

dapqam Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 In all likehood there is a gap or leak that is bigger when the cold weather shrinks 2 mating surfaces. Maybe a seal. Sorry but that is all the help I can offer. Do you see any leaks on the ground? The fluid has to be going somewhere! If you can find the leak that would make diagnosis easier. Maybe check all the connections to make sure they are tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
