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

cheers that will be coming out of the 2 rusty pipes then.

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

I traced the rusty pipes and they go to the PAS rack .i ordered new ones £80.A mate told me the yellow liquid is from the A/C and the evaporater looks dodge and the A/C dont work .I will find out when i strip it tomorrow .I will let you kow what i find .
