Power steering went out - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Austin C10 · 02-26-2006, 01:27 PM

I was replacing the top hoses on my radiator and spilled some fluid on the intake manifold where it collected between the mani and the valve covers. With the motor running, I sprayed off the top of the engine. On my next drive, I noticed that the power steering is now not working. I don't think that I even got the power steering pump wet.

The belt is new and tight. The pulley is turning and the fluid is at a reasonable level (maybe a couple of ounces low). Can anyone provide a trouble shooting list? Thanks!
