I have an 89 accord lxi and i am loosing alot of fluid whenever i turn right i need to know where to look so i can fix the problem , i did consult the book but it did not give any diagrams can any one help?

 

I dont know anything about older accords with the a series engines but if you just find where the leak is you can find out what you need. It coiuld be a cracked line or its leaking from a fitting or whatevr. All you got to do is fill the PS resivor, turn the wheel all the way right and take a look under the hood to see if you can see where its leaking from.

sounds like your having a power streering pressure hose bad, this is why it happens only when turning the wheel. if it was a return line it would leak all the time. P/S hose is cheap call Autozone.

 

do you really have to use "genuine honda" power steering fluid on a 2000 accord. csaue it says that ontop of the cap

 

you can use anything if you want but it will soften the seal and hose and cause problems down the road.

It's different stuff.

There's a couple brands (besides dealer) that make PS fluid for Hondas. But you have to make sure it says "FOR HONDA & ACURA CARS" on the bottle. Anything that claims to work for all makes, don't believe it.
