Low Power Steering Fluid

victor · 02-15-2007, 07:28 PM

Hey guys i am just wondering how come my Power Sterring Fluid is always low. i have filled it up like 4 times already for the past 6 months and now i checked its back on the LOW level. I will be taking it to the dealership soon.

Some 06 civic have a leak in the power steering fluid system.

I forgot if it were an elbow or joint but alot of people have had the problem corrected.

Dealership as soon as possible!

wait we have power steering pumps? i thought we had electronic power steering like the 02-05 civic si's??

***airportguy770*** · 02-15-2007, 08:24 PM

the Si's do have electric power steering, but I dont think the dx,lx, or ex do

i went there today and they said they didnt find anything wrong with my P/S system. I will return my car back there next week, hopefully they'll see that my PS fluid went low.

Very odd as the known leak(s) are kinda the culprit for most people.

hi,

my civic 2008 dx-a was purchased december 2007. it's got 1500 km.

the steering fluid is almost on "lower". is that normal?

note: there's not much difference between "upper" and "lower" (both are located above the top half), and the container itslef still has alot of fluid inside.

yes the si's have electric steering but the others have the regular pump style still if my memory serves me right.
