Thanks.

My mechanic diagnosed the leak. I'll jack up the car and look for the source of the leak. The power steering fluid reservoir was empty, the cap seized on when I bought the car last week. There was a grinding noise when turning the steering wheel, that went away when I filled up the reservoir. Do these circumstances suggest where the leak might be coming from?

I know very little about power steering racks. By tubes, do you mean the hydraulic line(s) from the valve body to the cylinder? Are the seals on the ends and covered by the bellowed boots?

My power steering calls for Type F ATF. Which version of Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF do you use in your power steering rack.

If I have to replace the power steering rack, is there any advantage of using synthetic ATF there?

Also, someone else said that the CAM and ZF styles are interchangable in my car. I found both rebuilt with lifetime warranty, CAM a little less expensive. Does it matter which one I get in terms of durability?
