I had a rust hole show up in my pressure line in the common area in front of brake reservoir. Lost all my fluid and steering but made it home from work.
I did a temp patch that held up out of fuel injection line and 4 injection clamps. Till I could read up on replacement.
Being I thought doing a full power steering line job was over my head. I ended up going with a splice with brake line and double compression fittings. Still holding up today.
Now my question is. I used dextron III trans fluid to fill up the PS system. Because this is what I used in all my 60"s and 70's cars and trucks in past. Seems to be working fine. Just never thought about the newer stuff my not like it.
So what is the difference in the clear power steering fluid and the trans fluid?
