Power steering cooler?
as far as boiling over, no. especially on a street car, it should never get hot enough to actually 'boil'. if you autox or race it, then it could spit out the top. even on the street, i get what looks like leakage around my PS cap. yesterday at the road course, i had BIG leakage all around the cap. i think it was more from the venting of the cap then actually leaking, since it makes a fairly good seal. i drained what i could out of the system and filled with royal purple PS fluid. my pump whines like a blower on track.....i know its only a matter of time before it goes completely. either the rebuild or probably a new turn one is due this winter.
no idea.....i was hopping to get some info from you. i dont even know if they do rebuilds anymore. doesnt say anything about it on their site. their new LS1 pumps are like 200+, or something like that. i got a quote 2 months ago and forgot how much. not cheap though. do you know how they modded it, what they did to it?

I remember reading on frrax awhile ago, I don't think turn one rebuilds pumps anymore they only sell the units.
I was looking around for simple PS cooling solutions for my Camaro and I wanted to see what ideas you guys have. Right now I am looking at the little coolers that Ford uses on a lot of their small trucks and mini vans and I also thought about using a small trans cooler.
Any other ideas that would provide an easy fix for hot PS fluid on a track day?
