I have an older model 285 MF that seems to be dumping power steering fluid into the crank case. I have refilled my reservoir 4 times only to have it be empty again with no trace on the ground. However, I thought about it and sure enough my engine oil level is coming right on up the dip stick when I checked it. This is supposed to be a new pump. Where in the pump is it bypassing? Or, am I on the wrong track.
In addition, the steering pump pressure never gets any where close to the 1650 psi (more like 700 psi) that it should and it took way too much effort to steer even before this sudden fluid loss.
I'd appreciate any help as I'm not a mechanic by any means......thanks. David
