Ok i have this same problem. My power steering pump went out so I replaced it and now its going out again. I looked in the pump and theres a milkshake looking fluid in there. I have the old style power steering cooler. Since there is water/coolant in my pump, would it make the rack go bad? what all do I need to replaced?

Mine is leaking from where the rubber hose meets the metal hose. Its leaking at the crimp. Very slow leak so I'll change it next week. But I learned something. A tiny leak in a power sterring system somewhere is just like a tiny leak in our cooling systems. My power steering fluid is all new, as of early last year when I did my after market power steering cooler swap. Now, my PS fluid is milky chocolate looking......apparently from the air that is getting sucked in when it starts cooling. It leaks when its pressurized and hot...it sucks in air when it cools down.
Interesting...........

Absolutely required. This article does a great job explaining why they were put in and the dynamics of the pump, which need the cooling: http://www.gmhightechperformance.com...all/index.html

Coolers that simple cool, may make the fluid to cool and work less efficient.
There is a method to GMs madness.
