On my 450 gasser, according to the operators manual I got off this site, it says that the power steering is part of the hydrotouch system and uses that oil.
On mine, it looks like it's a separate system, with a pump between the distributor and the regular live hydraulic pump. Pressure line from there goes to the torque motor on the steering shaft, then a return line from the torque motor goes to a rectangular tank at the right rear of the engine, and a return line from there goes back to the pump.
A few questions- there's a square head plug not quite halfway up the tank- is that supposed to be the oil level plug?
Also, the power steering's gotten progressively worse in the last few months. Is there a screen in one of the fittings on the torque motor or someplace else that may need cleaned?
Finally, it acts like there's alot of air in the system. What's the best way to bleed these?
