Eric, While checking the power steering I noticed that it seams like there is a small amount of air pressure building in the reservoir. Have you every noticed this on other trucks? The truck only has 60 miles on it if that means anything.


Thanks

I have noticed it on all vehicles, the cap is not vented and the light build up of pressure is normal, its not enough to worry about.

Thanks,


Brand new truck and I find a couple of drips hanging under the truck. I traced them up to the reservoir. The level was fine but I did notice the presure when I took off the cap.


I quess someone had a problem "finding the hole" when they filled it then.


No more drips, but believe me when I say I'll be watchin'.


Thanks again for your help.
