RivNut Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 You are over filling it. Just cover the pump, do not fill it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cquisuila Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 (edited) strange. my level respects the reference level (see picture) perhaps my improper oil = DEXRON 3 OR bad seal cap ? Edited June 5 by cquisuila (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Power steering fluid AKA automatic transmission fluid expands with heat. As long as you have the pump inside the reservoir covered, you’re safe.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Collector? Â Treat that mark in the illustration as the full mark when the fluid is hot, not cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmTee Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Yes, that mark on the tank is the full (maximum) level when the oil is HOT. I would keep the level ~2 cm below that mark to allow for fluid expansion. If the level is too low you will hear the pump begin to make noise.
