While you are flushing fluids also do the Power Steering Pump fluid. This is a known weak spot for these vehicles and clean fluid will help keep your money in your pocket!!

well what ive done as a quick fix when she was driving it was to grab a turkey baster and suck out as much of the fluid as possible and then refill it with fresh liquid.

now do that a couple more times until the fluid is nice and red and you should have most of the old fluid out
