O.K. ;
I know I posted some pictures of P.S. this & that, I'm pretty sure I posted what it looks like when you've cleaned everything : early typ P.S. fluid filter (Pic. #1)
Resivoir full and ready to go (Pic. #2)
Resivoir after less than 100 miles, lots of careful lock to lock turns to make sure I'm circulating the fluid into every crevice of the steering box (Pic. #3) notice it's not very translucent anymore .
So, I still have more flushing to do before I swap out this weeping power steering pump .
On a happier note (?) as I was adjusting the engine's hot idle speed I noticed a drop of coolant on the bell housing behind the engine, running my hands on the single engine to firewall heater hose revealed a bump in the _underside_ of the hose, of course as soon as I touched it the bump burst and began leaking coolant merrily . now I know where all that darn coolant was going .
Of course, the only new factory German heater hose is in Germany , Tom at The M-B Classic Center is getting it for me, I'm off to look for a good used one to - morrow morning, I hope the rain has quit by then .
In my haste I ordered up a new (!$!) Nissens brand made in Denmark radiator, it's now cheaper than the Chinese made ones, UPS told me this morning they'd hold it for pickup down town but @ 5:45PM sent me a message saying it's sitting on my porch, here I am far from there and -not- going to fetch it until to - morrow morning early 
.
.The fun never really quits but I'm looking forward to driving this car to Death Valley around the end of the month .
Stay tuned, more of Nate's endless foolishness soon .
