[CL9] Loss of Power Steering Fluid?

[ttngo]

Hi friends, I'm losing power steering fluid every now and again. No leaks when the car is parked but the level seems to go down by a few mm's every month or so.

The power steering hose recall has been completed, any tips?

Its a sealed unit.

Find the leak. Few MM a month should be noticeable.

Clean your engine bay, keep checking and monitoring and topping up.

Not too sure about the CL9, but Hondas from that generation had its rack placed in the middle of firewall, sometimes its easier to see behind there with the front wheels off through the wheel arch, where the control arms are.

This turned out to be a failed power steering pump. I had to get it reco'd and it cost me $450 for a new one from a mechanic.
