PS pump bypass

FYI: If anyone bypasses their PS pump make sure you empty out the resivoir.
I just took a cruise after detailing my car and motor and I noticed some smoking and saw that my PS pump vented ps fluid out of the hole in the top all over my chit man! I drained the system and now it is fine.

Do you have no powersteering when you bypass? I know it sounds like a dumb question but its hard as hell to turn the wheel without it.

That sucks you got fluid on your clean azz engine

Yeah ps not working anymore from the bypass.

Damn, if you drive that thing enough you'll be all buff.

Our steering has little to no mechanical advantage when the ps is off.

Btw: Have you entered your car in any shows? I bet you'd win. Seriously.

I needed to get my car back on the road and my pulley kit some how stripped itself. I thought the quickest way was to just bypass the ps pump. It actually feels real weird driving around like that and I will have the pulley back on soon.

Sorry to hear about your oil story. That sucks. I didnt even know that could happen. The few couple times that I drove it without PS, I didnt have much oil in my pump...by luck, because I had a leak and had to fix the hose just before I drive it.
