Sounds like your power steering is leaking to me. Check the level.

Hi

Those pipes may well be the ACE pipes that run on top of the chassis. Mine are really rusty as well.

I have a similiar yellow liquid as you down below the radiator. It's sort of behind the rad. I am losing a bit of coolant over time but not any PAS fluid, so I was assuming that the yellow colour was the orange coolant mixing with all the oil lying around down there.

I've a new radiator ready to fit and will waxoyl the ACE pipes when I have the rad out.

If you find out anything else let me know.

Cheers

Andy
