Thanks for the help guys.

Ain't life grand? :thumbsup:

When do you get to "play" with it for real?

That would be after the power steering gets fixed.
So what am I looking for to figure out why it's leaking? Any common problems I
should look for?
thanks Tom

I would start with the hoses on the rack. If the engine runs, start it up and have someone turn the wheel back and forth while you look for the leaks. If it is the hoses, then a local hydraulic shop should be able to make new ones.

I'm hoping it is just a hose, any recommendations on what p/s fuild to use?
Thanks tom

Nothing specific that I know of for PS fluid.

Tom -

Lucas fluid with stop leak has gotten pretty good reviews. You might give that a try before tearing into anything.

At least the stuff is cheap here at work. I'll give it a try.
