i'm not overly knowledgable on this topic but when i first got my svx i had to replace the power steering lines for what seems to be the same reason. it would smoke on and off, sometimes with a month in between incidents. i got my lines replaced and after that the smoking stopped for like a week and then it started up again. i wasn't ready to go back to my dealership and spend another $200 to have the lines replaced again so i put in some Lucas Oil power steering leak stoper and the smoking hasn't occured since and it's stayed full when before i was putting in a quart every other week. before you spend the $100 on parts or double on parts and labor i would try some of the Lucas stuff, for $7 it fixed my problem and i'd recomend it to anyone.
