When to Check Power Steering Fluid

It is not necessary to regularly check power steering
fluid unless you suspect there is a leak in the system or
you hear an unusual noise. A fluid loss in this system
could indicate a problem. Have the system inspected 
and repaired.

How to Check Power Steering Fluid

When the engine compartment is cool, wipe the cap and
the top of the reservoir clean, then unscrew the cap and
wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Replace the cap and
completely tighten it. Then remove the cap again and
look at the fluid level on the dipstick.

3800 or 3800 Supercharged Engine

When the engine compartment is hot, the level should be
at the HOT mark. If the fluid is at the ADD mark, you
should add fluid.
