Thanks for the reco! The ole girl was doing fine till yesterday after a run in the hot weather it started to act a bit weird and noisy (rack and pinion?). When I opened the hood the ps fluid was pissing all over the place. I thought maybe I had not closed the cap properly but that is not it. I have an indie mechanic trying to fix it but I do not have high hopes. If he does manage to tame that gal I will certainly try your suggestion.

thanks again

Even though my mechanic does not believe in PS Gunk sealant, I figured what the heck for $4 if it saves me $1500 --- and 10 days later it seems fine! I have used Bar's Leak which saved me $800 on an engine gasket. That was over a year ago so may be time for that treatment to be repeated ... Thanks again!

Power steering still fine so maybe Gunk is gold! Car runs like a top now, but the rear air shocks are pretty much shot. Still rides ok and mechanic says as long as you keep load light in car and don't hit pot hole at high speed you can still prolong the life of this baby. Looks like $500 plus to fix rear air shocks. car still safe and I feel that $500 could go towards a way better critical repair to get me to 2013.

Call me crazy!
