Power steering fluid leak
 
I need some advice. The h2 had a small puddle under the driver side front. I put my finger in it and it's ps fluid. Opened the hood and it appears that the plastic tank on the driver side radiator has vertical cracks in them and ps fluid is oozing out. Any suggestions or repair advice, please help?:beerchug:

I don't think the power steering fluid runs through the radiator.... I think it's endgine oil on driver side and tranny fluid on passenger side....could be wrong on that though.

In any event, if your radiator is failing you need to get an external tranny cooler installed yesterday. It's a known issue and if the radiator fails on the tranny fluid side you will have a catastrophic failure of your tranny and cooling system. That equals big $$$.

I think your correct, after looking at a manual I think its the engine oil cooler? Ok so do i need a whole new radiator? What mods do i need for the trans cooler?

Sounds like you need a radiator. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

The Trans cooler info, what cooler and the process on how to install, is on the forums. Start here - http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/s...t=37731&page=2

That should be all the info you need. ;)
