Re: [FWDLK] Power Steering Hose

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Before anyone rubs my nose in it, I think that I brain-farted; I had 
installed a heater hose, which had
'weeped' the power steering fluid thru it.

Replaced it with a high pressure P/S hose, and problem was solved.

Maybe Ron should try to find a higher quality P/S hose, than NAPA is 
selling, if its P/S
hose is weeping.
