It depends Has this been a trend? when did you last check it? Have you check where the car was parked for signs of leak? The common area is at the connections to the PS cooler which is on the passenger side of the bumper. If there is no obvious leaks then it would most likely be trickling from the any of the joints in the PS system. You will have to inspect from the underside. To top up you need the OEM ATF fluid which is a dexron II i believe or you drain the whole thing a fill up with fresh Dexron II or III fluid eg Motul etc. It will be Ok to drive reasonably before you get to change it but if it starts whirring away or jerk o0r become heavy then its too loo or the is air in the system which means its no longer safe to continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevlo Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 ive only had the car for 5 days so it may have been low when i bought it. is there any checks i can do or should i just fill it up and see how i get on? p.s the car was on a slope when i checked it with the boot being lower than the bonnet if that makes sense (i.e the car facing uphill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
