RE: Gas smells and power steering fluid No, you shouldn't leak power steering fluid and yes, it will cause a rainbow pattern on wet pavement like any oil based liquid. The gasoline smell at fill up is a common problem. BTDT. The fix is just a few dollars worth of parts but the bad news is that the gas tank must be dropped to replace the leaking hoses and grommets and that is somewhat labor intensive. |
