Pentosin Leak Fixed & more



A large thanks to all who sent me advice on my leak posting a week
ago...

As was suggested by several, the foaming in the reservoir was caused by
the pump's regulator.  A new pump and all is well again in brake and
power steering land.

A couple of good side effects from this.  First the previous owner was
wrong, the rack was not leaking, it was coming from the reservoir; and a
pump is alot easier to replace than the rack.

Second, the front crank seal leak turned out to be the power steering
pump leaking down the front of the tbelt cover then around and down from
behind the pulley at the crankshaft.  From underneath it sure looked
like the main seal had gone.  But with the pump out (or if I had been
looking carefully for it) one could see the trail from the ps pump down
to that area...  Something to check next time you think you have a front
seal leaking...

Thanks again.
