Got the car home yesterday via F-150 + U-haul car transporter. After putting it up on the ramps and removing the protective shroud, I see the break in the PS line. It's probably a 2 mm hole at best that clearly popped open at a weak point due to the rust. At any rate, I'm going to replace the line (pump to rack, which is actually two separate lines but they're both rusty so i might as well) for about $300 for both parts. This is certainly better than the $2000 the dealer wanted! In addition, the oil cooler and lines are NOT leaking at all (though rusted) and do not prevent access to the PS line! The dealer was full of it! Thanks again to all who posted. If you've got any thoughts, I have another one up about some potential turbo issues (smokey start-ups, etc.).
