    Default Ive got a couple of integra questions

    Ive got a 1999 Integra LS and the power steering sprung a leak. I came out to my garage to see a big pile of PS fluid all over the floor. I checked the two black rubber hoses that go to the reservoir and I didn't see any signs of a leakage. Can someone help me out with this. When I started the car up to move it to a more accessible spot, it sounded like crap. Its really loud.

    Anyways...on to my next question.
    I also have a 1998 Integra and the Engine temp will only rise just over the C mark on the gauge. Ive been told its the thermostat, but is that all? Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it.

    it sounded like shit because no fluid was in the system.

    I know it sounded like that bc of no fluid. I picked up some mobile1 ps fluid with stopleak and then noticed it's for every car other than Honda/acura. What should I use?

    Just go to any Advance Auto Parts or other parts store to get some PS fluid.

    There is one specifically for Hondas.
