Re the fluid measure - we do this after 20 min; the check with the dip stick shows it to be slightly under the min mark, are you saying it should be at the max line? I will try and get pics anyway just to clear this up, thanks to all again for the great info.
well mine kept showing up over by the right side of the car, I don't know how it gets there but it is definitely ATF from the PS.
Is your level in the PS resevoir low? These leaks can be tricky
I use a thicker fluid in my PS tank so I know that is what mine is ( suppose to stop leaks but only slowed it)
