Re: Power Steering cooling
I am loosing oil out of the steering system and it is not in the bilge. none of the connections indicate and oil leak. there is no water in the steering pump, but there is a lot in the water, almost from the instant I start the engine. At first I thought I had a valve guide seal problem, then while checking things out, it seems more unlikely. My oil lose from the crankcase is too little to justify the amount on the water. Then when I check the only other source of oil that I know of, I found the steering pump almost dry. That much oil missing would be constant with the amount on the water. I think, and I could be wrong, but the pump side has a higher pressure than the water side, so I should not see oil in the pump. Is there a poor mans way of testing the heat exchanger.
