what mods does it have??... i see headers, msd wires, looks like a fernco bellows... get rid of that sorry *** power steering cooler now before it causes you problems later lol... maybe get rid of the egr/air assemblies to clean it up a bit, and if that is a fernco bellows i would ditch that as well

search it and you can find out all about it... basically it's a fat piece of rubber from home depot that people use to replace the factory bellows because they don't want to spend the money for an slp... it doesn't fit right and looks like crap in my opinion

if you have a metal pipe in the upper radiator hose then you have a ps cooler... you can barely see it in one of his pics... basically what happens is the cooler goes bad and leaks power steering fluid into your cooling system and contaminates the holy hell out of it... if the problem isn't found right away it will build up really nasty inside your radiator/block/etc and you will have to heavily flush the whole system to get all the gunk out... if that isn't enough reason to change it, it really doesn't work anyway, it basically gets your fluid hotter which is the opposite of what you want it to do and on a normal street driven car the fluid isn't going to get hot enough to where a cooler is even needed... just get rid of it... search around and there is a big write up of how to do it and it's really simple... i think ls6427 is the guy that made the write up
