Ok i've noticed my p/s fluid is milky brown and my coolant overflow bottle is caked with gooey snot like substance. When the car is cold its fine, but once it warms up it makes that "moaning" sound when turning. Also yesterday when car was warm I open the p/s resevoir cap, and the fluid was coming up and overflowed all over!!!

I've read that the p/s cooler can go out on our vehicles and is somewhat common. My question is how do i by pass this? I see the two p/s lines that go into the radiator hose, so do i just get a brass fitting and connect them together then plug those adapters in the radiator up? Please I need your guys help. Then after all this is done i gotta flush the p/s fluid and coolant fluid to new.
