My 98 ford falcon slips out of drive in the mornings, and i think the power steering fluid has leaked out! Where do i put the fluid as i do not have an owner's manual? Do i also need to run the vehicle when filling the power steering holder? The previous owner whose a mechanic said that somethings sealed so to bring the car to his garage but too scared to drive it in case it stalls again.
