God, they're the worst job. Everythings always so nasty, slimey. Just the fluid itself is slimey. Then all the dirt stuck to it on the engine and frame. Plus the hoses are always jammed up someone's ass and the new ones a bitch to get started. I was solid black up to my elbows, i couldnt hold a damn wrench tight at all! LOL

Hopefully now the R wont leak so bad. Every time i turned the wheels, a haze of smoke would come out of the wheel well. I was empting the resevoir in like 300 miles.

Mine just pours fluid out the boots of the rack, this is the second one my car has gone through. I am gonna hold out on replacing the rack until I can replace it with the faster ratio rack. I am pretty sure that the K member is covered with sludge from the dirt and the fluid, although I cannot remember what it looked like exactly when I had the engine out last.

Funny thing is my K car with no fluid still turns easier than my sisters Hyundai which has a manual rack. Might be because of the wheelbase though.
