Re: Power steering leak.

[Jacob Fox <imfast101@xxxxxxxxx>]

Unfortunately when I bought the car it was without cap. I had put one on that didn't fit right and it came off. But anyways, it doesn't have a dot, I'll just have to send pic. I wasn't able to look at that website yet that was sent to look at diff pumps but I will when I get to computer...bad service in here
