Hi all.

Can anyone help, Just done a track day and every time i came in i found quite a bit of PS fluid had been pushed out of the Cap.

Each time i topped it up to approx 3/4 via using the FSM method and it just did it again, so thinking maybe i was doing some thing wrong i went out on the last run with it at 1/4 (just didn't top it up) and it still blew oil out........

The thing is it doesn't do it on the road so i'm thinking maybe its getting hot?? Any idea's how to stop it? it did cross my mind to go with a None Power Rack but tbh its handy for every day driving.

Just standard DEXTRON II but its not been changed for a while, the Pump Appears to be in good order (works fine with no loss or reduction of Power assist)

I think i'll give it some fresh oil (Have Redline in the Gearbox and diff so might give that a go) do you think its worth investing in a better Cooler too?

only thing i can figure is that either the cap for the pump is failing to seal or your somehow over heating the power steering fluid.

Yeh i think its Overheating, just noticed the PS cooler pipe is under the FMIC so i don't think its getting good air flow round it. So might fit a better cooler,
