      Having to top off my fluid reservoir about every three months. I noticed wetness around the hoses connecting to the reservoir that seems to lead all the way to the steering box, which also appears quite wet. It makes sense that the fluid is flowing down to the box via gravity. No steering problems, just the annoying leak. Does the reservoir have o=rings that can be replaced or should I just try replacing the hoses and clamps altogether? Do I need to bleed the whole system after this?

      Thanks,

      Michael O

        Those hoses go bad after some time and lose their ability to withhold the fluid… Replace the hose. It may make a bit of mess to do this and probably will need a bleed, but bleeding is just turning the wheel rack to rack several times until the squealing and foaming stops…
