What kind of power steering and brake fluids do I use on a 2006 town and country van?

Hi Mr.Downs.
Are you sure is only leaking when the vehicle gets warm? On checking the coolant level when the engine is cold and before starting is in a correct level?
Is it possible to be any drain pipe either if you do have air conditioning and running the air con then water comes out from that pipe and might you do have any dirt by the vaporator and gets the orange color.
Also do check for your power steering fluid,if there is any leakage
from the steering rack if it is close to that pipe and confusing you ?

NO! Dot 4 is brake fluid. using this in anything but the brake system is catastrophic. Use only ATF+4 transmission fluid in the power steering system as directed by chrysler.

My 08 T&C requires ATF +4. This is per the manual and many online forums. Do not use regular p/s steering fluid like I did. It will create a winning sound and you will have to drain and refill the resivor with the right stuff to correct it. Hope this helps. ??

trans fluid & filter should be changed every 60k miles. Dexron III for fluid

last time i checked there is a tsb on steering system . call your local dodge dealer with vin # and they will tell you if it has a tsb for your van or a recall

I'm not sure of what sound it could be making. However, keeping it simple and attempting to answer the question as asked: Check the power steering fluid first. If it's low, add power steering fluid approved for your vehicle to the proper level. Never use transmission fluid as it aerates (like shaking a bottle of dish detergent) and doesn't provide the proper protection. Your van is equipped with a filter in the power steering system.

If the power steering reservoir is at an appropriate level. I would have the front brakes inspected, and/or the Constant Velocity joints inspected, depending the type of noise.

Check to see if the fluid level is low. Check to see if the fluid looks foamy or full of bubbles immediately after you turn off the engine. If the fluid is dirty/full of foam/bubbles it could cause the pump to be noisy and will need to be flushed out and replaced with new fluid.

the noise may be because your power steering fluid level is low when cold, as the fluid warms up it expands enough to stop the whine, you should have the leak checked by your favorite mechanic shop

Make sure u check the level with the car running. If the fluid level is still good and still have a steering wine. you have a fluid restriction. This would involve replacing the power steering resivior. The filter screen gets clogged and causes a restriction hope this helps.

It is your power steering pump. The solution is to replace the P/S fluid resevoir and fill or flush the system.
