Hi there! I started up my 03 MDX and it was making this funny whinnying noise, and when I turn my tires left or right you can really hear it. I lifted the hood and it is pretty loud. It's never ever sounded like this. My dad listened to it and checked the fluids....I was a quart low on oil, transmission fluid was fine....then he checked the power steering fluid. It's almost to the bottom of the resevoir :- (
So my questions are, does the power steering fluid have to come from Honda and can I do this myself. My dad said it needs a flush because the fluid is so dark and old. Can I flush it and where did the fluid go to in the first place?!? Does it evaporate.....iv never noticed any kind of leaks.
Its well over 250,000 miles. I had the timing belt, water pump, and transmission replaced about 5 months ago...I assumed they did all the fluids.
Oh earlier this week, I parked with my wheels turned kinda cockeyed and when I went to start it up the next morning, she wouldn't kick over. It wasn't till I started twisting the wheel back and forth that it kicked over (something my sister's fiancee told me to do)
Any insight is greatly appreciated!!!....and constructive criticism. Lol!!
