Hello!
I am in the Pyrenees, in a very nice Hotel (in Les, Lleida, Spain). Well, today, after a trip in the mountains, by very nice roads with lots of curves, I have checked the engine and have found that steering fluid had overflown (about 50-100cc or so, I guess)... I have checked after about 45 minutes since I have stopped the car. It was of course over the HIGH level mark in that moment... I have not noticed anything wrong with the steering before nor after that finding.
I wonder if level should be checked in COLD or in HOT (or, at least, with engine running), as it could be I overfilled it, checking it in COLD. Please, could somebody help on this?
This is my first long trip with my Espace V6 24V after the expensive engine works and we have done about 700km so far without any other problem (and with an average consumption of 10.7 l / 100km, with 2 adults, 4 children and luggage for 10 days which I find good enough)
I will try to check the forum again tonight, as this is a public PC in the Hotel. I would appreciate your help, as this is my second day here and I would like to drive lots more in the coming days!
Thanks for your help!
Regards from a very nice place
