LOL thanks for the pic! Jeez, now I don't know if it's the dexcool issue I have OR if PS fluid has gotten in there.....I do have some light build-up on the coolant stick......

Will do. Worse case scenario, IF i do have the two fluids mixing, what's the solution. I wanna keep the car as stock as possible, so probably just replacing everything with new oem parts?

If you have a power steering cooler, that's where the mix would have happened. Unfortunately (for those wanting to keep their cars 100% stock) this part is so prone to failure that, to my knowledge, GM no longer makes them. If you want to still have a PS cooler on your car, I recommend the Derale coolers available from Summit or Jegs.

To correct this, simply flush your PS system, install the aftermarket cooler of your choice, then fill the reservoir and bleed the system. You will also want to flush your cooling system as well. I did mine about a month ago. There are many useful threads on the forum you can use for information.

Yea, the stock coolers are IMO a really poor design.

You can check out this thread for details on a cooler option that a lot of us are having success with.
