GtipGary Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 In my other 94 grand prix... also with the 3.4 dohc, The power steering suddenly went out one day. I at first thought that the power steering pump was bad, but when i checked the resevoir it was empty. I then refilled the resevoir and the power steering worked again. Next day all of the fluid was gone. I tried to locate the source from on top and with the car on a lift but i cannot find it. It seams to be coming from the same place where the car is leaking oil, which i have assumed is the oil pump drive seal. It really doesnt bother me i drive it without power steering but would be nice to figure out what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted April 5, 2007 Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 sounds like either the pressure or return hose is blown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtipGary Posted April 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yeah Shocktherapy said that it was the high pressure hose or somethin like that but where the hell does that go... i can see where it starts but it goes straight down and i didnt have tools at the time so i couldnt trace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitaloutsider Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Uh, because our racks are designed for power steering? Not to mention that they need the power steering fluid for a lubricant and you're risking having it seizing up on you one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really doesnt bother me i drive it without power steering but would be nice to figure out what it is. My '93 Lumina 3.4 did exactly that about two months ago. Loose hoseclamp allowed a PS hose to pop off. Blew all the PS fluid on the ground. Replace hose, install better clamp (I like the ones sold for fuel injection hose) and it works like a champ...

Crazy K Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 I just replaced the low side pressure hose in my 92 vert. I ruined it while doing the powertrain install. if you hae a lift... or willing the crawl under the car, you must just look around and see what you find.
