I agree wholeheartedly with changing the PS fluid out. After the rack on my 90 240 failed at less than 200k I was determined to keep the PS fluid fresh on future cars. Six years ago, I noticed a minor seal leak on the rack in my 95 850. Using the turkey baster method, I converted the fluid to Mobil 1 ATF. I had to do it again about 3 years ago, but the good news is that the rack is still going strong at 250k with no leaks or other problems...:)

Unlike the past, I also now keep up with brake fluid changes!
