Re: 85 5K Power Steering fix?

I have yet to confirm this hypothesis, but I think that if you have a
supply of fresh pentosin in the res, maybe the returns can be disconnected
from the res and used as the drain. I think that you may have to plug the
returns at the res, though. I think there are two returns to the res.
Rememeber to keep filling.
