Default OMG I THINK I FOUND IT

Its NOT my power steering leaking. I think its the water pump. Get this. A week or so before, the Chevy dealership flushed my radiator... and the dumbasses left it overheat. And then I saw them spraying cold water all over the engine. And doesnt metal crack if its really hot then gets really cold? So I'm pretty sure that has something to do with my water pump leaking. The reason I thought it was the PS was beacuse the PS fluid... is orange. Just like the antifreeze. Same color. Shouldnt PS fluid be clear?

You can use tranny fluid as P/S fluid. Thats probably what is in your P/S tank.

Depending on stress it's been through, the temperature differences, and a few other variables, yes it can crack.

Yeah they dont know what the **** theyre doing. I saw one of them try to open the hood of a Chevy Astro or whatever those big vans are called... that REALLY scared me. Took at least 45 seconds for the guy to find out how it opens.
