    I have had 2 mechanics spot out to me that my power steering fluid is not the lovely greeny colour it started but more a brownish one. Is this concerning, if so, can i flush it myself or should i take it somewhere cause im not that mechanically minded.
    cheers,

    so you put in a green fluid and it turned brownish??

    my fluid colour is redish straight from the bottle.

    R U sure you dont mean brake fluid?

    P.Steering fluid is red out the bottle. Brake fluid green.

    If your brake fluid is brown get it changed, its stuffed.
