Customer reported multiple issues with their vehicle, including; coolant leaks, oil leaks & power steering issue.
Tech preformed coolant pressure test and found leaks coming from the thermostat, & oil cooler as well as upper, lower oil pan leaks & a cracked pcv hose found while inspecting the vehicle. The rack and pinion was tested for resistance and found to have been faulty and causing intermittent failure do to oil leaks on pigtail connector.
We recommend and replaced the electromechanical steering rack, the thermostat, engine oil cooler and pcv hose and got this customer back on the road.
