Out Of Control!!
assuming you have the single power steering reservoir, simply check the level and fill accordingly, however if you are that low someone experienced should check for leaks!!

You have self leveling suspension...it uses the same fluid as the steering rack.
I saw this message when a rear line to my SLS burst. At the same time the steering became incredibly stiff.
So, the problem could be with the steering or the SLS.

The SLS uses a special fluid and a common reservoir for both the PS and rear suspension. The fluid part number is located on the reservoir cap. The reservoir is located on the left side of engine bay between the windshield washer fluid reservoir and the headlight.
As others have noted, it's important to find any leaks. Also, the failure of one of the accumulators will cause a sudden drop in fluid level with no evidence of a leak. This often results in a harsh ride.

Oh no did i put in the wrong fluid?
I went to a Napa auto Parts and they punched up my vehicle and gave me this one. If this is the wrong one, what should i do?
