Cool! I get a reservoir if replacing the clamps doesn't fix it.

Any recommended brands for the reservoir and premium power steering fluid? I saw Pelican Parts has Rein for the former. I just checked and FCP Euro has it too with high ratings.

After thinking about the ATF on the reservoir: Wouldn't accelerating and braking cause the liquid in the reservoir to slosh and hit the cap? I don't do too much aggressive driving, but that's not never!

I see some people have had success just replacing the o-ring:

I think I'll clean up the outside of the reservoir and hoses with degreaser and try the cap o-ring first.

Also this Liquid Moly leak sealing product has some good reviews on FCP Euro and Amazon:

Thoughts?

I replaced the o-riing today. It seems to seal better now. I'll update the thread if that hasn't fixed the problem. Thanks, X5chemist, for suggesting it could be the o-ring, a potential $4 fix!
