I have a sr20det swapped 93 s13. I am having some problems with my power steering. Whenever I drive it spills out power steering fluid until the reservoir is almost empty. It seems to happen with higher rpm. The power steering works fine it just spits the fluid out. I think it is coming from the reservoir or the feed hose. I am going to jack it up tomorrow to try and find exactly where it is coming from. Has anyone had this issue or something similar?

My S14 and S13 Silvia Clones cannot keep power steering in them. i have no idea why. my S14 has new hardlines and everything. My buddies also have this issue... im interested in a fix aswell.
