No steering fluid at all in the EPS system.... what was the fluid like? Smell, color, viscosity, taste, anything? Brake Fluid, Coolant overflow, and the front diff vent are all in that area. Could just be water that was sitting somewhere up in the dash too?

 

My guess,
Blue Loctite

 

Hell, my screen was so dark when I looked at it earlier, it definitely didn’t have any color, or he changed the picture lol. That definitely looks like blue loctite.

 

LOL...

 

Actually yes, I am new to this, but I was under the impression that a forum was to help others not make them feel stupid for asking questions.

 

Well yes there is blue loctite, lol. I loosened the bolts, then was unable to complete the job for a couple of days. When I returned there was an oil looking residue I was concerned and then completed the install, using loctite and dripping some. I asked a few local friends they did not know what it could be. So I decided to ask this group of knowledgeable RZR experts. If I need to add fluid similar to what is in my car, I will. If I don't need to worry about it, I need to know that as well.

 

I have a 2016 900 Trail. I added an emergency brake, the brake bracket mounts to I assume the power steering motor. After install I saw a puddle under that power steering motor. Do I need to add fluid? If so where.
Any info. Would be helpful thank you.
Here is a pick and link to show the install.

Pic of puddle

Looking at that pic you posted again, I assume you were talking about that large dark spot not the blue. If so, to me it looks like it has been there a while from the dirt on it & it also looks to be worn off some from your shoes. My questions is, did you just get this RZR ?

 

I have had it since it was new... humm.. I really don't recall it being there before but maybe.
I might be chasing the white rabbit down the rabbit hole...
Thank you for your help

 

I have a rzr 4 800 2010 Polaris EFi does it have its own place to put power steering fluid are does it run off the eps

 

Did you use something like wd40 to loosen bolts? Maybe it dripped down.

 

OP, you mentioned that you are new to RZRs, but I’m guessing you might also be new to forums?

you’ll get some sarcasm along with the information. And Offroad forums often have a bit more sarcasm than others

Take everything with a grain of salt and you will eventually learn how to separate good information from bad information and from good-natured ribbing.

(I, too am new to the RZR world…but not to hobby forums.)

 

To help the OP. Here is a close up of the mystery liquid?

 

No idea of what that is.
