alright, today when i was coming home from a girl's house, the low coolant light came on. i figured no big deal, ill add some when i get home. i noticed that the power steering was acting funny, it does work, but stops working at the further portions of full left and full right, but sometimes it does work there. i added coolant when i got home so it was high enough to see like 3" into the coolant adding place(lol) and when i went to drive it again, after a few minutes the light came back on. now it is always on, even when i just start the car. i had to get to work so i ignored it and will need to wait til tomorrow to check if the coolant level actually went down or not. coolant temp was the same as usual. but the power steering still works sometimes and not other times, usually making me put on a constepated face when i gotta turn hard left or right
any ideas to these problems or think they could be related? also, i popped the hood on my break at work, right after i drove around for like 15min and checked to see if anything was leaking. this greenish stuff was coming down from somewhere in the middle-ish area where it's deeper in the accessory area of the engine. im guessing anti-freeze.
im going to see if my mechanic friend/neighbor can help me tomorrow. i just want to know if you guys can suggest where to look first or give me an idea of what it will cost...
