Hi folks, wonder if anyone can help with this, My 406 seems to leak PS fluid from the top suface of the reservoir cap, not a large amount, but its there after every run.

Im thinking, expansion of the fluid when hot??? If so, i would suppose this is normal?

Any Ideas appreciated!

Cheers!

Mines not as bad but does the same.

I was told it's not normal that the servo leaks, but I didn't even want to know what that would cost to fix...

My old 1998 2.1TD did this for the entire 4 years I had it, always a bit was around the reserviour, but after it got to a certain level, it stopped, so I left it like that.

If you want to pay, get it done, but it did no harm to mine to leave it as it was.

Thanks Folks,

Think I'll just leave it, see how it goes.

Doesent seem to affect the car in any way

I will just add that I had to top mine up once in all that time. That was my fault for not checking it for about 18 months. The steering started groaning, but after a top up, all was fine for the rest of the ownership.
