Power steering
The cap on the power steering is cracked and I need a new one im wondering if the cap is just a standard one that i can get at any car part store or what? Also is there any thing that I need to know since the fluid is almost completely empty?

You should be able to use a universal cap. All GM H bodies used the same one. If your fluid is too low, you'd better bleed the brakes. Buy some extra fluid and some tubing while you're at it.

I was noticing a sticky spot on cold days with my steering, the fluid was low, and a friend of mine who manages Brake Plus told me to put in some Lucas Power Steering conditioner... The stuff is incredible. The steering is now completely smooth and quieter.

Ok WTF is up with my power steering. I have to use all my might to turn the wheel from a dead stop, but once I hit the gas a little and start moving it eases up and turns easly. It'* been doing this for a long time now, and it'* starting to **** me off. Any segs. would help.

I think the comments about bleeding the brakes came from someone not reading the posts very closely.
