Hey guys got a Question about my power steering. i looked at it today and its low, i visually inspected the underside and engine bay for leaks but see none. the car has 96k on it and i never added fluid before, it always seemed a little low , but now i know it is. (i do check it at every oil change) is this normal? my friends alero (I-4) also randomly needs power steering fluid as well. i never had a car before that i had to add power steering fluid to it before.
**Edit, it also always has pressure when i open it, and the remains of power steering fluid on top.

also, my CAI seem to be getting water when it rains, i was wondering if anyone ever added a water catcher to it. i don't know what else to call it, but on the factory intake there is one to catch any water in the intake so the engine don't get it.

Like Always Thanks For Your Replies,
-Shawn

After refilling, I'd just keep an eye on the fluid level for a while.

A K&N drycharger is what you're looking for.
