Power Steering Leak
Power Steering Leak Ok so I have been dealing with a power steering leak for a lil while now. I replaced the pump and the rack today but still having the same issue.
The passenger side lower control arm, spindle, and all that is covered in fluid. Now there is nothing over there that I know of that has to do with the P/S system. The pump and all the lines are on the drivers side. Drivers side is dry. I need to check the coolant to see if there is any contamination from the cooler but it doesnt explain the fluid on the passenger side.
Any ideas?

$45 dollars for the cooler, rubber hose and whatever I used. plus 30 minutes to do it.
ALSO....the coolers that came from the factory are not REALLY coolers. They are PS fluid HEATERS. If you put your hand on the factory cooler after the engine is at operating temp, you will get a third degree burn. If I put my hand on my aftermarket cooler that you see in the pictures after a hard core drive through the city after my engine was already hot, I can keep my hand on it no porblem, its just warm. The factory coolers are HEATERS, they do not work. Hot as hell 200 degree coolant heating that thing up makes the PS fluid hotter.
Do this:
FOR AIR FLOW OVER THE COOLER while moving, cut that strip out of the air dam:

I think its like $14.00
Do you have anymore pics of the power steering cooler install? Write-up maybe? Will a small tranny cooler work for the power steering?
