- - Losing Power Steering Fluid (I think) (http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15315)

My 98 H-1 is losing power steering fluid but there's no drips on the ground or oil on the frame? (I put in over 1 Qt in so far)
I have a Hydraulic Winch that has not had much use (I’ve pulled some bushes out of the ground with it) but soon after using the Winch I've started losing fluid
I bought the H-1 with only 9,000 miles on it, and it looks like the Winch had never been used.
My Question is

1. How much Fluid is in a Hydraulic Winch and power steering unit?
2. Does the H-1 have a problem with power steering fluid loss?

Couldn't tell you on the hydraulic winch, but I would guess that the winch was never used and therefore was never bled/filled with fluid. Top it off and watch for more "loss". I doubt you have an issue unless you spot a leak.
