116 k 1993 240. Been driving it for two years. Nice car.
All of a sudden, I notice oil level was almost off the dipstick.
Went to change oil and found filter was jammed down on the motor mount. Both mounts were sheared off at the top.
Replaced both motor mounts and drove OK for ONE DAY.
Next morning, ALL power steering fluid was on the floor of the garage. (May have been leaking all that day I was driving it.)

Not sure where the fluid is coming out. It is all over the drivers side of the PS rack.

The two problems must somehow be related.
Probably need to replace the rack.

Can I drive the car without PS while a rebuilt rack is being delivered?

Any recommendations on a rebuilder?
