Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Is this silly since it either gives out completely and leaks or doesn't "use fluid"?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

My 08 3.4 has 10,000 miles and (only...wow)6 track days this year. I just checked my PS fluid and I needed to add 4 ounces to reach the cold level mark. 4 carefully measured ounces, by the way. I want to make sure that of my PS fails, there is no question that it WAS NOT due to low fluid. I used a measuring cup and a flashlight and a funnel. I figure my experience will serve as a control. LOL. This is the first time I have checked the level. None has been added since new. I will check after every track event and before every track event from now on. Any thoughts? Is 4 ounces a lot or a tiny amount? Is this silly since it either gives out completely and leaks or doesn't "use fluid"? Just getting set for a day at Thunderhill tomorrow.

POST 3Original post

"Forum for issues with or complaints about the Cayman " I thought power steering failure fell under this category as an "issue", and I would contribute to the knowledge base. Please move to the more appropriate forum. I have to say that I did look at every forum title and couldn't find one that fits under the "maintenance" category. "Care" seems to be all about detailing. The funny thing is I really did give quite a bit of thought to where this would fit. LOL. Help me, SF.

POST 4Original post

what color is the PS fluid? i think i'm leaking it... have a small leak under the car of clear/pink tinged fluid....coming off the back of the undertray that meets the front of the oil pan. off center to the passenger side. i'm afraid days are numbered for my PS. anybody can confirm the color of the PS fluid? thanks...

POST 5Original post

Pentosin CHF 11S - Power Steering Fluid is Light Green........ Just checked the can in my garage with a Cotton Bud Pink would appear to be Coolant....... (If I am Not Mistaken) Good Luck.............

POST 6Original post

thank guys....not sure if i'm relieved or not. i've never overheated. i guess will just keep an eye on it

POST 7Original post

Ringmeister, Leaking coolant is not normal. If you continue to notice even occasional leaks or notice you need to add coolant, I would have it checked at the dealer. A number of threads here on coolant system problems and I can testify about the "coolant problem" I had. It took a couple of trips to the dealer and several "explosive" coolant reservoir dumps to get the the problem identified. Don't delay if you see anymore "pink" fluid. Craig
