Hi,
I have 1999 toyota camry V4 and 120k miles on it. I am noticing few drops of leak on the front passenger side. Couple of months back I noticed a leak exactly below the shift and when i took it to the dealer's service center they said the power steering rack needs to be replaced and they estimated around $1000. But I don't see that leak now instead i see leak on the front passenger side. I also notice some weird rattling noise around the same area.
One recent change i did for the past 6 months I shifted from regular oil to synthetic and changing the oil every 6000 miles.
any idea what is going on? I am thinking of taking it to other mechanic shops to get an second opinion but thought of checking here first.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks, RT
