Trouble started with ps fluid leaking from clamps, replaced clamps and hose, then the hose kept blowing off and all the fluid would dump. With further investigation, I find the ps radiator was full of gunk, like steel shavings. Can I flush this out and put it back together? I also plan on replacing the pump as it lost fluid so many times it's squealing a bit.
Does anyone have any idea why this would have happened or if I need to do anything further?
Great car, strong engine.

I would think it has died from old age. Have your steering rack checked.
Good luck and let us know. :)
