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!

Re: Smoke in front

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.

Re: Smoke in front

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.
