The power steering cooler pipe is going bad, you'll need to replace it. This piece, mine went bad, was doiong the same thing

Mine has the same problem... I just found coolant in the PS reservoir. I shudder to think what the stock PS cooler costs... I can't find it online for sale, but I haven't looked too hard either.
I'm moving to this setup (http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/12750800-post4.html). It's simple, can't cause cross-contamination ever again, and it just makes so much more sense. Why use 190° coolant to cool the PS fluid when a simple setup like this can use 90° ambient air temps? That's 100° of additional cooling! That seems significant to me. I'm going with a slightly larger fluid cooler from a website that shall remain nameless as I don't think they're a sponsor.
