Default Power steering leaking cap
As title. I have fluid sitting on the top of my "new" cap, I wipe it and it re-appears. Its a right mess. It appears like there is excessive pressure inside..

Anyone had similar, and what causes it...

Thanks

the cap has a breather pip in it, it could be due to being over filled, IIRC, the powersteering full level is only just over half way of the tank when its not running....

I'm pretty sure both the Max and Min mark are both below the seam?
