Now the long trip back on one engine and no Power steering. :rolleyes: Uncle Dave most reservoirs are clear untill you add oil to them then they turn the color of the oil, in this case a mistic red. Like a glass or soumpen when you pour wine in it...:evilb: I have the same for the drives on each side.

One of my three guesses-

Ive never had to decide how to plumb multiple engines (back to envy again!) but it makes sense, and of course that engine will always be the one that lets go.....

Part of what threw me off is that from these picts it appears the interior of the reservoir has a noticeably molded shape inside it. The effect of which makes the colored portion (fluid) appear to be an insert to the device like a drop in cartridge.....

502- all kinds of cool things you can do with what you have.

jeffman1000 funny!
