I have a bad power steering leak and have to fill it everyday.. I've replaced the air control valve and the line that comes off of the reservoir what's next? I purchased the Hardline anybody have any experience with changing these.. it's a 96 ls400

make sure it's not leaking on to your alternator!

it could be leaking from the pump, there are a couple o-rings that may leak with age.

Also, are you using ATF or Power Steering Fluid? I have seen power steering leaks when improper fluid is used. These call for ATF from the factory.

Oh that's already happened to me! the air control valve started leaking onto my alternator went out on me two of miles from the house. I use ATF. I'll check the O-rings, are they easy to replace?

Scraape

make sure it's not still leaking on your alternator!

I haven't replaced the o-rings yet, but i've had the parts sitting in my room for awhile. I have the part numbers I could get for you. Or you may be able to find them with a quick search on here

You need it up on ramps or a lift and look under there for the leak.

Every day?!

So this sounds really, really dangerous...you run out of fluid and the steering wheel does not respond to input.

As you have been unable to sort it out thus far, so why not ask someone who knows??

Avoid statistic status....
