Power steering fluid loss no leak
Power steering fluid loss no leak Have a 99 ws6 with Huron speed single turbo set up loosing power steering fluid with seeing leak or any wet oil spots anywhere. About 10 ounces one day drive . Have a lift so under car is completely dry. . Pushed steering rack boots back dry there , my power steering lines are covered n heat wrap but it all looks dry can’t see it spraying on headed to burn off under car on rack while turning the wheel . Very confused on where the fluid is going any help would be deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Thats what I did, My P/S Resovoir had all orange coolant mixed with the PS fluid, and when I replaced the radiator, I got some 20 dollar oil cooler from Summit Racing, and it came with the hoses, clamps and ZIP ties to put it into the A/C Condenser and works like a charm and got a 1 piece upper radiator hose and problem solved after flushing out the system of all coolant contaminated PS Fluid. Pain in the rump but thanks to the gentlemen who replied to my radiator crack/replacement thread they suggested I do this small item to prevent catastrophe later on down the line and they were 10000000000000% accurate because at 120K miles, The cooler was completely toast.
Flushed out the engines coolant passages as well as I could with water first 4-5 times then with coolant afterwards. Seems it turns the P/S Fluid into what looks like tiny sand particles in the coolant if you remove the radiator cap you will see what seems to be like Sand or something, Thats the P/S Fluid mixed and churned around with the coolant mixing in the Water Pump So I flushed it out with water hoping it would not settle and ruin any sensors anywhere within the engine or radiator and so far I have put maybe 200-=250 miles on the bird since and no issues or failures so I think I am good to go.
Good luck replacing your cooler.

They do that quite often on the DETROIT MUSCLE and ENGINE POWER TV SHOWS. They just tell you to ensure there is some space behind it to pull air through it and discharge it on the back side and they make those ones with the fans in tons of various sizes so a few spacers with long bolts to a frame rail or a welded bracket and bolt it to the bracket for easy service and you should be golden. You can also run the lines all the way to the rear of the car if needed, so having it up front is not necessary as long as you get one for about 80-150 bucks with the electric fan and whole relay wiring setup and even put it on a manual override switch if you feel so inclined although I think for a P/S system thats unnecessary. Just a set temp for fan to come on would be the way to go. can google various ways to mount these if some photos might help figure where to place it under the car or in the back of the car.
Best of luck to you............
