Good good.  Nice to get to the bottom of a problem hey!

Where's all that fluid gone though?

Funny guy!    :tongue:

Is that not more of a concern, than simply topping it up and thinking all is well again?

I'd just keep an eye on the level every week. IIRC Steve_PD had a rack problem.

And I am hoping I don't! Just had a leak from the power steering pressure hose and going too swap the pipe and hope there are no more issues with the reat of the system on the way!
I did have a bit of a groan when the fluid was low.
