Tip on leaking rack.

My tip of the week. I was bothered by a leak somewhere in the steering
rack hydraulic system. Hadn't been able to find it even after stripping
the rack and replacing the pump. Finally got desparate and used an
additive! Oh, sacrilege!

Lucas Oil Products makes an additive for the power steering system that
actually works. No loss of fluid this week where I would normally have
to add enough to bring from min to max every 2 days. Don't know about
long term, but on this old beast, it does the trick for now.

Lucas Oil Products come highly recommended on the Jag-lovers list. They
also make other products that are harder to prove the usefulness of.

Cheers
George
