S70 pushing power steering fluid out of cap S70

posted by  someone claiming to be BenE on  Mon Nov 10 08:22 CST 2008 [RELATED]

1998 S70 GLT. Looks like some leakage around my power steering fluid filler cap. Steering seems fine. Level seems fine, is at the half-way mark between the H and Add marks. Fluid looks nice, looks like light red ATF fluid. Any ideas?

    You need a helper. Someone to turn the wheel to lock while you watch the level in the bowl.
    I have only seen this once, in a 740 when it was -20F. Water in the line froze and when the pump was on full presure, a little gyser came out of the cap :) Fun to watch. Couldn't flush the system until the car thawed out, months later.

    You might want to just flush the system anyway.
