Hey guys, I have a 95 prelude vtec. Well anyways, for a few weeks now my car makes a high pitch screetch everytime I started it up. My neighbor took a look at it and said that my power steering had a leak. So I though I would go ahead and change the gaskets where it was leaking. I went ahead and changed it and I looked at the reservor and it was really low. I went ahead and grabed some STP power steering fluid from auto zone and put some in. Not realizing that I should have used the Honda power steering fluid. I drove the car for a day, it felt like a brand new car again. The next day I started up the car it made this really loud winding noise. Like if the belt was too tight. I let the car warm up for a second and started to bac k out my car. My power steering was gone. I was like what the hell so I inspected everything it looked ok. I was thinking I should bleed out the rest of the crappy STP power steering fluid so I drove to the honda dealership to grab a few bottles of the Honda Power Steering fluid. When I came home I poped open the hood and all my power steering fluid was spewing out of the top. The cap poped off and it was just oozing out of it. I went ahead and emptyed the rest of the power steering fluid and placed the honda power steering fluid in its place. Now still I have no power steering, I have no idea what to do. Can you guys help me out? Do you guys think I should buy another power steering pump? Or do you guys think I just messed up the entire system?

 

remove your power steering all together and make it manual then all your problems are solved plus it can never leak that way

 

You probably need a new PS pump. Or as Skidtron said convert it to manual.
