Have a 2004 grand prix GT 119,000 its leaking power steering fluid like a
sieve, pretty sure its one of the hoses and not the pump. Spoke to a few
local mechanics and they said more than likely the hose as this is a common
problem on the grand prix’s.
My grand prix has a leak also…think its just one of the hoses lose or my
need a clamp?????
The 99 Grand Prix with supercharger also has the reservoir on the same
place… those without the supercharger has the reservoir on the top…
She’s up to about 112,000 now.
You twist it like any other cap, but be careful not to drop it trying to
pull it off. It’s quite tight behind there.
same as mine . damned car, my mechanic put some stop leak in it and will
hopefully seal it a bit good luck with yours
@MichaelAdamsRocks Yep. I’m dealing with a leak myself now that’s a little
bigger. I’ve got a reservoir hose that I think is leaking so that will be a
fun project to take on this weekend.
How do you get the cap off!!!!
I’m sorry, but 95k miles ISN’T “high mileage”. Talk to me again once you
hit at least 120k, then I’ll start to consider it being called “high
mileage”. I’ve had cars then nearly hit 200k before I got rid of them, and
I didn’t have many problems with them. Believe me, cars can go up to and
past 200k if you really take care of them.
You need an extended funnel. Watch out for the heater hoses, they’re hot
and easy to touch.
GM=Garbage Motors
still have the alero
@ekt8750 That is good advice, thank you! But I won’t have to worry about it
much longer. It will be fixed soon. It also helps that the leak is actually
quite slow.
There’s a better video out there which will show you where the reservoir is
located. Just do a YouTube search for : “2005 Pontiac Grand Prix (Base
Model) – Power Steering Reservoir [Where is that damn thing anyways?!]”
@ekt8750 How do these things break? Haha
@fordjeremy04 Yeah. It was originally mine from 2005 to 2007 and then my
brother took it after I got my Aztek.
Take out the antifreeze reservoir and you can get better access to the ps
reservoir
Government Motors, but yeah, they’re garbage, too.
Awesome video. All I did was watch till 2:34 and put on my shoes, my
husband beat me out of the door and fixed my car!! Mine is a 2005, with
about 60,000 miles. Makes no noise now, my reservoir dip stick was dry!!
You saved my car!!!!!!! Now to find the leak. Thanks so much for posting.
Haha! Thanks, I knew where it was, it was just a pain to get to. I got the
rack replaced back a few months ago and haven’t had a problem since.
stop leak wont work for long it will swell all the seals up in the OPS
system and cause more leaks down the road if you replace the rack to get
rid of the leak male sure the PS is flushed before you hook up the new
rack….
i have a 2006 pontiac grand prix i have a lound whisle when i cold start
the car what is it from had belts ,waterpump tention wheel replaced still
