Hi folks,


        Today, after months of sitting.  We started up the van to move into the garage.  It has been about 10 degrees and many days at about zero.  Today about 15 degrees.


The van started slowly but on first try and no lifter chatter. 


But I could hear the power steering wining a bit. 


As the van pulled in it seemed to be running ok but sounded cold.  We turned it off and discovered pink fluid dripping from the rear passenger corner.  This is about where the power steering reservoir is. 


        Now being blind I’ll have a bit more of a challenge finding the source. 


Anyone know the common failure points in that area? 


Thanks,


Eric Caron
