Few easy questions

Picture 1: I put some "radiator-cement" wich i hoped would plug up the holes in my radiator abit, then the tube/hose that i have marked with an orange arrow started spewing out water/liquid? Why? And what is it?



Picture 2: Is this the Servo oil tank and filler? Ive driven about a 100 miles on it empty...

2: thats your powersteering pump. if its empty it would be harder to steer.

thats the rad. overflow resi. (1st pic) i dont like the stop leak stuff you are overheating and its pushing the coolant out. Replace the radatior/t-stat adn see if it helps.

that is your power steering fill it with p/s fluid not oil.
