My oil leak is a power steering fluid leak. The local parts gal (former vette owner) said she's never heard of a PS fluid cooler. She called the bowtie service manager in the next town. He told her while I was standin' there, that they're usin' tranny fluid coolers for substitute PS fluid cooling?

Anybody heard of this trick?

 

Its true check out this post from another forum:

As a result, for my additional A4 cooler location, I put mine behind the radiator and in front of the power steering fluid cooler.
In fact, I used a stock power steering fluid cooler as the transmission cooler since it bolts to the front of the existing power steering cooler.
I bent hard-lines to route the transmission fluid from the existing cooler in the radiator to the additional cooler.

 

been doing that on circle track cars for years... the cooler gets put in the LOW pressure steering hose.

 

Good research lees.

Rose, I'm guessin' we're just gonna' put the new unit in-line where the old one mounted...

Only question now is what kinda' rubber/hydraulic/high pressure hose can be used to re-connect, or extend for the new connection, AND, is a standard hose clamp okay for the squeeze???
