My valver seems to be spitting power steering fluid out of the reservoir. :shock:
As far as I can tell its coming out the top of the bottle
Anyone know what might be causing this to happen and would it be wise to replace the reservoir?

cheers

most of them do this mate, especially when they get driven hard. Is your level correct ?

yeah, the level was correct, its been fine since I changed the pas pump back in august

Haven't been drivin it hard neither. In fact been drivin like a pussy for 2 months since crashin it :oops: Been usin it with fcuked suspension. Only just replaced all the broken suspension bits and I've replaced all the brakes a few days ago, so I'm letting them bed in etc and gettin my mojo back before I start to rag it properly again 8)

Only noticed it this afternoon while checkin it over before setting off for work, the little puddle of power steerin fluid on my driveway and the mess inside the engine bay
