I almost missed this thread, you started a new one.
I have seen your steering system(or very similar)used on the cobalts and G6's. Kinda hard to check power steering fluid.

Did you make the coolant expansion tank?

It`s a manual rack, so no reservoir.

The expansion tank was made by Promotasport, who also made the radiator.

I meant hard to check because power steering fluid doesnt exist.
chevy cobalts and pontiac g6's run the electric motor steering too.
Also, where did you source your heat insulation on your trans tunnel?
