Re: Power Steering (not O-Ring)

Could someone clear this stuff up and possibly submit it to the FAQ? See, my problem is the underassist when at low speeds but I've never seen a puddle of PS fluid except for the dried stuff that always ends up on top of the resevior tank and I can smell it burning under high acceleration. (which has nothing to do with any of the symptoms that showed up in the first 120 posts at the Wahoo! board) I don't ask for help (as in a direct fix) so much as somebody puts in their $.02 because it's really confusing. (yeah, confusing, that's what I want, someone to lift the great cloud of confusion from my smog ridden head)
Oh, and a few "specifics." I can't remember if I read it in the owner's or the service manual, but, some fluid will be pushed out of the cap on the tank under heavy acceleration. It's normal.

And, the o-ring fix does not cure laziness. Believe me. I've done it, and I'm STILL lazy.
