    Not just a vent, a gallon or so of coolant came out of that hole upon removing the switch even when no coolant was flowing from all the other drain areas open.

    I had the front wheels off the ground. Without the power steering pump running, I think it builds pressure where it wouldn't normally and that fluid comes out of the filler cap.

    If you turn the front wheels all the way to one side, you can access the U joint grease zerk. Just remember to do this with the engine running or you'll have to clean up a power steering fluid mess like I did. :oops:

    I filled my plastic windshield washer bottle with windshield washer fluid up to the line. When I pushed the button on the dash, the bottle lid exploded off and I got soaked. It was fairly funny, but I do want it to work. It feels as if the full air pressure available is coming out the "In"...
