Hi David,

When the car is initially started, and the steering wheel is really resisting, the rpm's drop and stay down, although once the problem self-corrects, there is no noticeable drop in power.

I have also been reading the thread about using ATF instead of power steering fluid. I added ATF this past winter/spring and since that time I have noticed minor to major leaks, which go away by themselves. I will probably put proper PS fluid in instead.
