Its not ideal but its a start. fluid was getting little  lighter each timeBut now I noticed that the system is connected to a braking system though a hydro booster. is this true? The brake lines have this fluid in the lines as well? can anyone tell me how it actually all works. And how critical not to have a leak in this system is and also what is proper fluid to be using? Since i was using just average Prestone steering fluid(which was clear and not red)And now thinking if i might have an issue with braking? Maybe go to a mechanic that could diagnose where the leak is coming from to actually fully fix it.?[ATTACH=full]33287[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
