   Hi all.
   
   My pas system seems to be pressurising,if I open the reservoir cap there is a hissing sound.The base of the filler bottle is wet with fluid & so is the rubber pipe where it joins the pump.I`ve tried bleeding the system & can find no leaks in any of the pipes going to/from the rack.
   
   Any ideas,thanks?

   Dear Stevo67,
   I have just this minute had a quick shufty under Nats bonnet Stevo. Hers is as dry as a bone everywhere to do with her power assisted steering
   Firstly, you have to take into account that her pas isn,t working at the moment ( due to a suspected electrical fault ) I also bled her system very very well, even though it isn,t working
   You don,t think it could just need a new hose ? perhaps it may have just gone pourous.
   I hope this helps
   Vince,

   Thanks for the info,Vince quite possibly it needs a new hose tbh i`m working on a shoestring budget at the moment as i`m planning on getting rid of the saxo in the near future.
