JUST WAS LOOKING CAR OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL IS LOW. IT DOSEN'T EVEN TOUCH THE BOTTOM OF THE DIP STICK. I GOT THE CAR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO AND I JUST STARTED DOING STUFF TO IT LIKE OIL AIR FILTERS AND JUST LOOKING IT OVER. THE CAR HAD A BOUNCY RIDE TO IT SO I GOT SOME GOOD ADVICE ON THIS FORUM THAT IT MAY BE THE ACCUMALATORS. THAT WAS BEFORE I DISCOVERED THE LOW FLUID LEVEL. THERE IS FLUID IN THERE JUST NOT ENOUGH TO REACH THE DIPSTICK. WONDERING IF IT IS JUST LOW ON FLUID AND THAT WAS WHY IT RODE BOUNCY OR IN FACT IT MAY BE THE ACCUMALATORS. THE CAR HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IF ANYONE HAS ANY GOOD ADVICE ON THIS MATTER IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. DIDN'T CHANGE THE ACCUMALATORS YET, JUST TRYING TO SEE IF I CAN GET ANY HELP. THANKS AGAIN.
If, the accumulator diaphram broke, the extra oil could be in the accumulator. If there are no leaks where else would it be. If its bouncey, typical problem is accumulators!
The rear accumulators probably need to be replaced. Have a qualified technician evaluate your situation and advise you accordingly. I had the accumulators replaced on my car about a year ago---at that time, it had about 110,000 miles on it.
