well there was a leak here and there. after pouring a few bottles over the past few weeks (maybe i should have instead changed the seals but whatever) it seems to have stoped leaking now. which is funny because now, it feels like trying to steer a bus with the boost of a geo metro

basically it's a pain to try to steer. and sometimes whenever trying to lock it to the left you get the feeling it can't go no more till you really, really pull on it. then it goes all the way. it's like the steering pump is going bad but i am not sure.

also, would a bad pump cause the rpm to fluctuate and actually drop enough for the engine to cut off when steering stationary? it's driuving me insane. try reversing out of a parking lot with a full lock and realize your engine has died. embarassing
