Thanks both lewisnc100 for the very detailed and easy to follow process and 12Ounce for your tips. I didn't have a chance to give it a shot today, but will for sure try flushing the system tomorrow. As 12Ounce said, I will also check for hose leaks to make sure they are in good working condition.
I did, however, take a sample of the PS oil from the very bottom of the reservoir this evening; it is ugly to say the least. Lots of tiny bubbles in it and smells awful. It's nowhere near the ATF clear red I would have expected, more like brownish, opaque, semi-chocolate syrup comes to mind. I am obviously not an expert on the subject, but it looks as if it had been boiling for a long time. Could extreme heat (pump friction and such) be the culprit for such terrible fluid conditions? I will post my findings tomorrow night after performing both the air leak tests and/or system flush.
Thanks.
