My 92 245 has 197K on it.

Just of late I have been smelling what seems to be either power steering or tranny fluid when driving with the windows open. It is not very strong, really seems to almost come and go. There are no leaks and things seem ok excepting ..

>>>there is a tapping noise that seems to come from the power steering pump &
>>>when I removed the PSP cap just after I stopped, there was pressure released, not a lot - just not sure if it is normal.

Do I have a pump going bad? Everything seems to be fine.

Thanks.
