My power steering fluid is bubbbling in the container. It looks like a wave from the side. I never noticed it before until today. last week i found power steering all over the control arms and cleaned it up. what do you think the problem could be

 

Don't know about the bubbling but the leak is probably covered under a recall. Mine was leaking down there too and Nissan fixed it for free when I took it in for its free inspection in October. It is some recall with a hose working loose. All they did was tighten it so you might be able to do it yourself.

 

thanx im going to go by the dealership tomorrow

 

could you tell me where I can find out if my car was recalled... i'm not sure where to look... thanks in advance

 

I am not positive but do a search on the web for safety recalls and stuff. They usually have listings all over the place to inform people.
