Hi guys
Just had a nosy round the truck today and notice this oil reservoir looking rather empty. I'm assuming this is for the power steering but just want to check. Can you please also advise on the type of oil required. Does it need to be a specialized power steering oil or like your standard dot 4 oil?
Thanks in advance
Brett
p.s the guy who took those pictures should be shot, terrible! haha
power steering fulid going`s in that mate not sure what one in the Nissan as ive never had to do it ...................yet
Yep power steering, when you let it get too low it is very hard to turn as I found out recently.LOL
Yes it is your Power Steering fluid reservoir, you can use any quality Automatic transmission fluid, but may i suggest you add some of this.........LUCAS
Its a great product (even if you dont have leaks)
Dexron II is the recommended fluid for Patrol power steering..

Funny you say that, when I was looking at the casing it was looking on the oily side. Cheers mate will take good look tomorrowQuote:

Sorry I am not real sure what you mean, are you saving it is leaking from the pump housing or possible one of the banjo fittings where the hose connects to the pump?
It doesn't really matter just make sure the bolts are tight, wash the area down and keep on eye on it.
Leaks from hoses and the pump front seal are the ones you need to worry about.
Just keep an eye on the fluid level.
