Ass a new filter, that's new to me! I use a turkey baster... as most of the time good help is hard to find that doesn't want food or beer or both in exchange for halfassed labor.

I've noticed if you change it a few times and run it, drive it then keep changing it... in about a week it's much cleaner.

Tho' I don't believe I've ever seen clear PS fluid in a PS system before. Just very light amber colored.

if so...which p/s seal do i buy?

one is listed as Elring 20 X 42 X 7mm, another as Elring 19.05 x 33.33 x 7.93mm, and yet another as European 19.05 x 33.33 x 7.93mm


A new gasket for the top isn't a bad idea, aren't they around $2-3? The front seal shouldn't need replacement on a PS flush.
