Standing on left side of engine:

  1. I will check all my hoses and wires this side as I did on the other side, that they are not cracked, frayed, or broken, that they are mounted securely, and not obstructing any moving parts.  I would also check that the hoses are not leaking.
  2. I will check my windshield washer fluid is filled and the container and cap are secure.
  3. I will check my air compressor is mounted securely, not damaged, and it works.  It is gear and belt driven.  I will check it’s belt and all other belts on this side the same as I did on the other side, that they are not cracked, frayed, or excessively worn and there is no more than 3/4 inch play at the center.
  4. I will check the power steering reservoir is mounted securely and not damaged or leaking.  This is where I check the level and also where I fill it.  I would check the level is above the refill mark.
  5. I will check my power steering hoses are mounted securely and not damaged or leaking.
  6. I will check my power steering pump is mounted securely, not damaged or leaking, and it works.  It is gear driven.
