Hey Guys,
I went to go look at a 1995 Honda Prelude SE that was for sale. When I test drove it everytime I turned the wheel it would make a squeaking sound. My friend who was in the car with me commented on how he thought it was the power steering box. We pulled the car over to pop the hood and see if we could hear where the squeak was coming from. I sat in the car and turned the wheel and he looked. Well he happened to look under the car and saw a puddle of some fluid so I backed the car up and it was a clear transluscent color. I assumed it was transmission fluid but my friend said that he thought transmission fluid was also used by the power steering so it didnt mean the tranny was leaking.
Has anyone heard of this before? Any ideas as to what it is ?
Of course I decided that it wouldn't be best to buy the car, yet, unless the owner fixed the problem but I would like to know if anyone can shed some light on this problem.
Thanks!
If what your saying is true would then how does the fluid come in to play?
Oh and also it makes the sound regardless of driving or not in fact at higher speeds you would be hard pressed to hear it squeak.
