I have 95 and trying to fix some leaks, So i replaced high pressure power steering line, Fixed that leak. Then had slow leak out of seal above nut on box. Put break fluid in and it stopped that. I drove it today and the more i drove it the harder it was to turn deep left or right. It was squeling and had to give it gas to get steering back. Now here is the weird thing i let it sit and cool off and it is fine. I replace fluid by sucking it out when car is off and putting new in and turned tires and it gets carmel colored fast. I have done this 3-4 times just to clean fluid.
I am woundering the non pressure hose was on top of radator lower hose, Could the heat from that hose affect the power stearing fluid.
I put a brace to keep it from touching each other.?????
Any help

 

what do you mean with put breakfluid in t here? the power steering reservoir?? or on top of the nut/seal?
sounds like the power steering is failing, with the hard to turns. Could air in the system trapped cause this?

 

I put a small amount in the reservoir, It is fine now but it seems to be off and on. not sure about the air, I read to get air out you turn the wheel all the way to both sides and that is what i did.
What i was woundering would heat from rad bottom hose put to much heat on reservoir hose. I have cleaned the reservoir out 4 times and it starts clear then when i turn wheel it gets carmal colored real quick.

 

am not sure about this colour change. if that would be like other oils, it could mean its bgetting mixed with water or something else. The radiator hose should not be too much of a problm, both hoses are warm/hot when operating temp is reached and driving.

 

well it could not have helped being stuck in sand dune in about 4 feet of sand, There is sand eveywhere past the top of front wheels, But hey it flexed real good i thought the rear ax was going to snap.
