Pentosin Replacement

I just recently 'rebuilt' my hydraulic pump with a kit from
chris at force5auto. My reservoir was always slick with the pentosin, even
though I couldn't find any leaks. Apparently my system was 'volcanoing'.
That's when the pump sucks air through the seals and sends it through
the system causing the fluid to bubble up through the top of the
reservoir.

Anyway, pump rebuilt, I now have no 'volcanoing', the level is the same
for the past week, and my dumb light stays out. And the power steering
is better!

By for now.
George
