2000 chevy Silverado 2500. Kept losing fluid but couldn't find an obvious leak. Thought I was going to have to replace pump & studied up on youtube. But no fluid showing around the pump, only in front of it. Wind should blow it back on the engine. Front bumper happens to be off & I was standing in front of the truck as it was running & noticed liquid running down my left pantleg. Assumed it was water laying in the grill & I'd rubbed against it. Shut truck off & looked around more, then restarted engine & walked in front of the truck, then saw 2 streams flowing down my pantleg! Bent down to see what the devil was going on & got squirted in the face with steering fluid (had safety glasses on). Road salt had rusted a pinhole in the power steering radiator line & a stream of fluid was shooting out 6 feet in front of the truck but was so thin you couldn't see it. Couldn't have located it with a bumper on. Yes, you have a radiator for your power steering! It's in front of the water radiator near the left headlight. About 2"x2". Two metal lines go under the headlight & back to the pump area. So I cut the 2 lines & connected them with a rubber hose to get around til weather gets better. No need to cool the fluid in 25 degree weather. If the pump hasn't been damaged, & it seems OK, maybe I get off Light this time. Maybe.

Today's Featured Article - Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
