Anybody ever added hydraulic fluid to their steering??

[Creekrock]

I think mine is low anybody ever added any to their's? What kind do you use? How would you go about it?

I used Sea Star hydraulic fluid from Island Cove Marina (any boat dealership should have it)
The question is-why is it low?

not sure ....I was gonna fill it up and see if or when it is leaking...

Check the seals at your cylinders on the motor (where your push rods go into the cylinders) just run your finger under the ends of the cylinders and see if there's fluid
If not, look under your console for fluid on your carpet-good luck!

That is the most common place for leaks. The kits are available just about everywhere and you can buy the tool to do it as well. </p>
