Right the thing is i wanted to top up the power steering fluid. But when i went to do it today it looks like someone has put brake/clutch fluid in ?

Will this knacker up my power steering?

If so how do you drain the pump so i can put the right stuff in.?

Many Thanks

The fluid should be a pinky/red colour if it`s brown in colour then the fluid is old.

I think the slick 50 is the stuff you put in that`s meant to renew seals etc,I don`t go much on it personally.Up to you though mate.:y:
