I added the leak-stop stuff once…worked for a while.
I then ran mineral oil instead of PS fluid…cheaper and the leak wasn't as toxic.
Then I ran out of mineral oil.
So I said screw it. I disconnected the PS pump belt, and have been driving the car without PS for the past year. It is AWESOME. firmer steering wheel, feels better (and I drive in Boston area). The only part that is hard is parallel parking…but heck, its just not that hard. Putting on my 16'' aero rims makes it harder, but if you're running 15s, you'll be fine without PS.
