i have a '92 sc300 with a 1jz swap if that even matters. i was wondering about power steering, do you guys leak power steering fluid out of the cap of the cylinder where you put PS fluid? also, is a power steering cooler needed for cars that drift?

On my 94 SC300 it leaked out the through the filler cap for a few days after replacing the power steering high pressure hose. It since stopped, guessed I put too much fluid in the first time. It is at the correct level now and no more leaks. Try removing some fluid with a turkey baster or similar tool.

it will leak if you have air in the system or if there is to much fluid i think.

how do you get the air out of the system? jack up the front and remove the cap and fully lock steering left and right and rev it up?

i tried driving it for a while and power steering fluid went low... btw, i drift the car if that matters...

suggestions please..

what are the two hoses that's coming out of the canister?? one of the hoses goes to the power steering pump but where does the other one go?

for power steering you need to turn it all the way 1 side to other side, this will allow your system to put out the air from the system. open the cap turn left and right all the way 2~3 times come out side and check your resorvoir. it will be better to have your friend looking at it and add fluid if needed. if you don't and it sucks all the way down then you might get chance to pull air into your system again. it's not that hard. actually if you do it right it takes a min.
