Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm not sure what you mean about "input applied to the wheel." I know you mean actually turning the steering wheel, but fluid was simply being added while the car was off and motionless. Are you saying that I should start the car, start turning the steering wheel right and left, and I would notice an appreciable drain from the reservoir that quickly? Or would a rack leak take about a week or so to manifest itself? Intuitvely it does make sense that having the pump working would drain the thing more quickly, it would just be somewhere downstream of the pump, hopefully not at the rack, but that is the most likely scenario, right? At 192k, I'm probably looking at a new rack soon anyway, right? Other than a leak, are there any other telltale signs that the rack needs replacement? Thanks for the advice.
