First off i would like to thank all of you for the good responses to and (my right hand side tail light assembly) I must say not one person ridiculed me, This is definitely a quality forum. Now i have another really really painless problem. It would seem that my cap has worn out and is allowing copious amounts of power steering fluid to escape. I looked at the old cap and the 2 hooks on the side of the cap are worn down not broken mind you but worn out :P. I am wondering if anyone has had any good luck with a universal reservoir cap or if they know what years i might be able to salvage a cap. I'm hoping they didn't change the power steering reservoir that much over the years. Any help would be appreciated. for now i'm having to rig up straps and or tape to keep the cap somewhat on there. It is not pretty.

thank you in advance

a humble forum taker with nothing good to offer yet

I'm pretty sure a power steering cap from any late 80s/early 90s (or even perhaps newer) Nissan should work.
