Message	So a few weeks back I did my annual oil change and finally got around to changing the O2 sensors which may have actually been original to the car. Tried diagnosing a power steering leak, and found it was in fact the dreaded HPPS leak. More like, shotgun wound. I decided I had enough with the garbage OEM line, so I got a used one from a junkyard through 300ZXTTMan (Mark Holtzman), brought it to a local hydraulics shop and had it converted to a braided stainless line. Secure crimp on one end, AN fitting on the other. Only word of advice, bend the hard line while still installed on the pump BEFORE removing to rebuild, as it'll be much easier to install this way. Got her all back together last night and began cleaning...busted out the Q-tips. Hope to finish everything by tomorrow evening. That is all for now. Busy week coming up!!
