Default safe mode and power steering leak

I know it's a long shot but I'll give it a go anyway

My 2004 x type estate has started going into safe mode whenever I go up a hill, I pull over turn the ignition on and off and away I go, it's fine then until I meet another hill. At the same time this started happening i noticed my power steering fill bottle empty, I topped I up and now find i have a fluid leak, not gushing just enough to leave a bit of a mess on the drive. So here comes the question could the leaking power steering system be putting my car into safe mode ???

i should've added, when it goes into safe mode I get no indication of it on the dash, the engine managment icon doesn't come on,

cheers

Welcome to the forum Chris,

I've moved your tech question from General Tech Help section to the X-Type section where it should get faster attention by more of the resident X-Type experts.

When you get a minute, please follow this link New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum to the New Member Area - Intro a MUST section and post an intro about yourself and your vehicle for all members to see.

In return you'll get a proper welcome and some useful advice on posting to the forum.

Graham
