I purchased my mom's cousin's (brother's girlfriend's ex-husband's etc) XC70 about a year ago.
It's a 2002 and had a whopping 70K miles on it, garage kept, beautiful.
The cousin was exceedingly meticulous and a hypochondriac with the car - he had it in the dealership every month it seems and they are the only ones to do work, including a PS pump replacement and flush.
Sooooo, why do I have red fluid?
I have started to have some steering noise and had a leak. I replaced the reservoir and cap a few weeks ago, and, after discovering red fluid, just put the old fluid back in (fortunately, I had used a clean turkey baster and jar to store the stuff I drew out of the reservoir).
But it is low and I need to top it off.
What should I do?
Should I buy 2 or 3 liters of Pentosin and replace, or do I need to do something more thorough?
Thanks.
