Anyone with an ATI Procharger on a Mustang have this problem? I have my 2000GT in the dealer right now for a power steering pump leak. They started to replace the lines and the pump and then tell me that the way my intercooler was installed was the root of the problem?? I was told that the lines were rubbing together do to the intercooler lines smashing them causing the power steering pump lines to be worn thru until they eventually leaked. I have been under the car and didn't think the intercooler lines were really even touching the Power Steering lines but I could be wrong. They also said the radiator line was leaking do to this same problem.

Anyone else have this same problem or do you think the dealer could be taking me for a ride?

You trim and move the lines when you install, I've never had any leak from rubbing even after years of abuse

It is extremely easy to tell if the line broke because of external contact. Go see what you can find.
