Default OOPS!

Lilpooky and I were just doing the once-over check under the hood of the old beast tonight......and found the PS reservior BONE DRY.

No bad sounds, no bad smells, steering is fine, and NO DRIPS. Spooky. The car had full service about 1000 miles ago, and I watched them check it (damn good shop, the owner has an SSEi and loves my car). I'd sure like to know where my juice went.

I guess I have just enough to circulate through the system. Still rather disconcerting though. Glad I checked it.

Hmmmm...must be contagious. Did yours happen all of a sudden? No warning, full in the recent past?

Anyone else seen this? Our reserviours are rather small.....but the SC models have alot of tubing to the pump and back for more fluid volume.

Both of you check your Inner Tie Rod Boots on the Rack? I've seen these boots fill up with fluid & stay that way until it ruptures.

Oops. Should've thought of something like that. Thanks Al!
