I was having issues with the power steering reservoir spitting fluid when i was on the track.
I tried the usual synthetic fluid + cooler, but it still did it. I think it's because there just isn't enough head room in the stock res and the o-ring on the dip stck just can't cope.
I switched to a cheapy ebay reservoir designed for a Commodore which has a larger volume and a screw-on cap. I printed up a mount to bolt it into existing mounting holes. Once it was installed I thought it was a bit dodgy & expected i'd have to re-design it, but it's been running fine for nearly a year, even the flimsy retaining clamp has done its job really well.
Just print it in something heat resistant - I just used ABS.
