Got a strange one. Recently had the power steering box recondition in the '89 diesel GQ. About a week later I noticed power steering fluid leaking, but it appears to be coming out of the reservior.
When cold the dip stick didn't even register so I filled it again (cold level) and went for a quick drive and again its seems to be pissing out of the reservior.
Anyone else experienced this and what could be causing it?
Cheers,
Anthony

Power steering leak through reservior??
well, this toke me a while to find but, there is a filter on in the reservoir for the power steering, it can block and restrict the return flow causing a spray upon return, this will swirl and spray up on to the sealing lid and leak, to see if this is the fault, check the fluid flow in the canister and if it is pooling up or rising then check the filter, this will need to be drained and the filter removed from inside the reservoir. there is a clip that holds it on, it is had to get off and harder to get back on. the filters are cleaned with an air blower and reused, be careful on to damage it. cheers Phill.
