Hi all I noticed some bright green liquid under my freelander this morning, I checked under the bonnet and the power steering fluid was low. Anyone know of any possible reasons, the steering feels fine |

The coolant is pink/red in mine. I can only think it's power steering fluid |

Power steering fluid in mine is a claear dark green browny colour (CHF202 I think) ! Bright green suggests another fluid (CHF11s), or you have the wrong spec fluid in your car!!

Did you ever figure out what the bright green fluid was? I'm having a similar issue. My levels of coolant and PAS fluid are good. I'm seeing a small leak somewhere down by the pump and it's spinning up on the belt making the belt slippery. |

Thanks. Yeah, I was just reading about that after scratching my head for two days! Both the coolant and PAS levels are good. The green oily stuff does not smell. It's leaking on belt and causing hard steering on startup. The Power Steering pump is good with no leaks. I'm trying to read exactly where it would be leaking from if it is aircon stuff...There is definitely a greenish fluid build up around the big air intake hose and it drips down on the smaller hoses and underneath the compressor. It's bright green. AC working good. I live in a hot climate. Thanks-- |
