Good afternoon , my name is Tshepo well I'm from South Africa. Excuse my bad English please. I own ford focus 2008 1.6 standard. What happend is that last week Friday I saw some leak on my park way which I didn't notice where it came from. Then I keep on driving then I heard some funny sound on the front wheel. But the car was still moving. When I was near my house engine malfunction just happened dashboard lights was blinking. Abs light was in and wipers just turned on. It was at night then the lights went low then decided to stop it. I pushed the car with my wife towards my house and locked it. The following day at morning I realized that leak was from power steering fluid resevor. The resevor cap was loosen. Well I opened it found out that the fluid was very low, I closed it but it didn't want to get tied. Like it was striped. So tried to start the car it didn't start. It just clicked twice without any idling only dashboard lights are on. When I start it again it just malfunction. I'll appreciate any input. Thanks
Hi Tshepo,
It sounds like there's something more than just the power steering fluid wrong with your car. It's very likely that's just a coincidence and the issue is not related, though the leaking fluid could potentially have damaged other sensors or electrics. Either way, you need to get a good mechanic to have a look at your car. It's impossible to diagnose such an issue from afar.
Best of luck
