tan.awa sa kung imong hose dili ba buslot or lata na or it might just need tightening, labi pa sa 'high pressure' side - WARNING: DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN! Basin kin.hanglan ug bag.ong hose.

Sigurado-a pud dili over-filled. 99% sa mga sira-niko e over-filled na nila. Over- filling is numero uno maka guba sa sakya.nan.

Ok ra man ang hose from the steering fluid reservoir. Walay leak or oil. At least sa kanang mga makita nko, upper side.
Ang leak kay sa lower part, driver's area.
Dli man pud over filled kay wala ka abot sa max, just almost the line. Pero after the leak, almost sa low level na. Wala sad air or bubbles. I saw a Youtube video unsaon pag reproduce if naay air.
While researching, kita ko mga articles nga nag gamit daw sila ug mga products before ni palit ug new steering shaft or rack and pinion assembly. Ganahan sad ko mo try if few hundred pesos lang price.

you don't need to buy steering shaft or rack and pinion assembly kung ma kit.an nimo dayon ang leak. Ayaw huwata mo dako ang blema. Usually, ang leak is in 'high pressure' side. Gi tan.aw nimo ang ila.lom sa sakya.nan? subaya ang hose pa.dolum sa ilalom. Ang component sa ilalom is prone to leak kai ma.o mai permi ma igo sa mga bato ug permi ma basa....subaya ang hose padulong sa ubos, labi pa and 'high pressure' hose.
posible pud imong 'seal' (inside the boot) sa rack worn out na.

Unsa mai odo reading sa sakya.nan and make/model? uban sakya.nan dunay 'steering fluid radiator' sa ila.lom

power steering stop leak? sigurado mn kaha na aged gaskets cause sa leak?
Naay Cyclo Power steering STop Leak... at Handyman or Truvalue or at Ace..try also sa Blade...

Thanks @Kristiano & @Jess_V.

I went to the mechanic to have it fixed. Nag replace pud ug steering oil seal (with a kit). If Cyclo Power Steering Stop Leak is safe, I'll just buy and use it.

By the way, unsay cause anang murag tick/tack sound sa steering wheel? Murag pitik2x nga sound, hinay lng. Sounds like a plastic. After ni gi change ang steering wheel. Mo sound whether it's turned left or right.

asa ta kapalit ana? naa bana sa ACE

[Jess_V]

tik, tik tik or tok, tok, tok, inig liko nimo? Jack up ang ligid where sound coming from unya move/push your wheel by hand left/right. Basin na.a sya na kalimtan ug balik or wala ma sakto ug torque and bolts. Ipa tanaw na sa mekaniko. Posible pud ang tie rod in but you said sound came out AFTER mechanic worked on your steering shaft....unsa odo reading and make/model sa imong sakya.nan boss?

FYI - steering oil seal is 'sacrificial' component of assembly. They are meant to wear out at certain odo, Depending on seal quality, some last longer than others.

You don't need Stop leak, ma da.ut lang imong bagong seal ni.ana. Stop Leak is a band aid that will SLOOWWWWLY deteriorate your seal. Gamit ug pure (100%) synthetic steering fluid. Ayaw nang 'mix'. DO NOT OVERFILL!!!! Kung pwede, Post pix of fluid level when engine is cold

tik tik tik ang sound. I don't think tie rod kay naka experience nko ana nga problem then replaced the tie rod. Possibly ba sa steering wheel itself? After market naman sad gud ni. Diha man dapit ang sound
85K na Odo Hyundai.

Nag refill ra ba sa una ang mechanic ug ATF III instead of PSF. Pero karon, PSF jud ako gamit.
