well am sure it's the resovior i can spray tit off with brake clean and a hour later wet again just sitting there so i have to keep cleaning it daily because that oil burning get's in the car and smells bad. am waiting for my cps to come i ordered one from a member. who ever owned the car before me hacked up the cps wires and it has a bad miss fire on cold start up but after a few sec's it runs fine but still has a faint random missfire.

if it's the last thing i do i will get this beast running good.

Is the power steering resivoir hollow inside? I found an OBX power steering resivoir on the internet and was toying with the idea of taking the stock one out and relocating the OBX one somewhere out of the way. I didn't know if there was anything inside of it or not.
I'm trying to clean up my engine compartment some before I really start into bringing my supra back to a "like new" condition before i start laying down the power.

I wonder if i can somehow force a foam type filter into the new ps resivoir. Is that what type of filter is in the stock one or is it a filter like in a fuel filter line or an air cleaning filter?
