Fwd: Re: type 44 pwr steering probs

[james accordino]

I hate to say this, but if you can't find any visible
leaks like hoses, pump, bomb, then check the rack
again.  Feel along the bottom of the boot, especially
on the right side.  Also try squeezing the boot.  If
it's leaking, they'll be fluid in it or on the bottom
of it.  You don't see a puddle because it's all over
the undercarriage or burned off by the exhaust system.
 BTDT.
