Decided to set the camber and toe today, as it was nice and sunny. Pushing the car back and too on the drive manoeuvring the car round to get it in position, I heard a weird squelching noise looked up to see power steering fluid pissing out under the reservoir pot cap! Never had an issue with the level before always bang on the mark. Would it possibly be caused by not having the engine running but turning the steering manually?
The only way I could get the fluid back down was actually starting the car, which I’m trying not to do until it’s ready to go in the road. Starting it up i was able to check fuel pressure at long last
That was at cold idle around 1500 rpm
I replaced the oil last week because of possible fuel contamination with what bob recommended mineral 15/40 for running in. Noticed the oil pressure is now high
I’m assuming it’s high as using a thicker oil? The millers running in oil showed normal pressure.
