Drinkin Steering Fluid Like Fuel.

[Hiluxifer]

ok, noticed this with the truck, i have to fill the power steering up alot, it drinks it like it were petrol. not like a fuel tank 55Ls later, but whereas most my other cars take like 6 months to make a noticeable diff, the lux is taking 3 months, theres no visible leaks. that i can see, really dirty under there...... so what u suggest?

It has to be going somewhere.Clean all that dirt off and inspect closely.My guess is the very slow leak is attracting the dirt and hiding the liquid

I had a problem like this once & turned out to be steering rack! Fluid seeps out of seals in rack & gathers inside gaitors. Eventually the gaitor will pop & oil will pour out.

If there is no visible sign of a leak.......then the rack could be the issue.

ty, will inspect that then.
