I pulled the cooler off and tested it. Does not seem to be leaking. I do not see power steering fluid any where, any ideas?
Boat is an older 85 Scarab with twin TRS set up
Thanks Steve

another great tool to have as I mentioned about 100 times. A outdrive / gear case pressure tester tool. Test all kinds of coolers - water / oil and test water pressure sensors - exhaust manifolds and risers, headers and all kinds of reservoirs including outdrive reservoirs, heat exchangers, even test fuel rails, cool fuel modules and so on and so on.
Testing power steering cooler a couple of weeks ago on 350 HO MAG

I would think you would have all kinds of pretty rainbows behind the boat if you were pumping that power steering fluid into the cooling water and out the back. Does it do it at idle also, or just at higher RPMs?
