Another power steering leak question.

Bob:
Did you tackle the job thru the floor by the driver? How long did it
take? I'm thinking of switching to a synthetic power steering fluid to
handle the heat better. Does anyone know at what temperature the
power steering system should be running? I'm planning to use an
infrared thermometer to see what mine is running at.
I think I'm going to drive mine for a short while and see if venting
the reservoir makes any difference. The original owner complained of
power steering leaks right from the start.
