My dad kinda knows cars a little and he has done the work so far. But after we have went through so many of them he dont know anymore. I put a whole bottle of steering fluid in start the car. Within seconds it drains out to empty. My dad has checked the hoses and says they are tight. I have still been driving it with the hard steering and Lastnight out of no where the serpentine belt fell off and the car over heated
