    Hi,


    small issue with the power steering on the car, first thing in the morning
    there seems to be no assistance with right hand turns, left is fine.

    After a few corners its back to normal but its a real struggle until it
    comes good.

    Seals by any chance? or worse?

    Any ideas appreciated.

    That would be a good answer to your problem, Peter. Just as a precaution does
    the fluid smell burnt and is it's colour very dark? If so then it would probably
    be quicker to fit a refurbished steering rack and replace the fluid.

    Cheers, Peter.

    Thanks for the replies, the fluid looks feels and smells like new and there
    are no leaks.
    Was sort of expecting a leak somewhere if the seals are not doing their job
    or are they just internal?
