Smoke in front

I'm getting some occasional smoke in front and I had to add some ATF to the power steering reservoir today. Any ideas what could be wrong?? ;)

Power steering "cooler" leaking?
Where do you mean, "in front"?

I havent had any "smoke" since 1974!:rolleyes:

Sounds like what I recently fixed on mine.
The P/S return hose sprung a leak. It was the one down on the rack.

Pot smoking gremlin living in your front bumper. Don't feed him after midnight.

Thanks Chris, I'll stop setting the bags of Fritos by the front bumper at night.

Yeah, it's the PS Tank O-Ring. I just think it's funny that I've had my SVX for 8 years now and this is the first time I've had this common issue.
