10) Check the fluid leakage at flare nuts after turn-
ing steering wheel from lock to lock with engine
running.
CAUTION:
• Before checking, wipe off any fluid on flare
nuts and piping.
• In case the fluid leaks from flare nut, it is
caused by dust (or the like) and/or damage be-
tween flare and tapered seat in piping.
• So remove the flare nut, tighten again it to the
specified torque after cleaning flare and ta-
pered seat. If flare or tapered seat is damaged,
replace it with a new one.
