Possible. The side of the reservoir looked clean, but was a little "oily." The lid has a rubber seal that is fairly dry. Is the seal a replaceable part? It's not in the PET.

I'd *think* you'd have some weeping coming down from the top if there was a leak there...any drain marks?

Negative. Part of the overall reservoir, which I believe is NLA for the metal (You can get a replacement filter from Roger if yours hasn't been changed, more as maintenance than a solution to this issue).

Mine was filled to the mark on the inside of the reservoir, about 2/3 inch from the top. I siphoned off a bit more and cleaned the area. Time will tell is this helps. Thanks for the advise!

I'm afraid I have not drive more than 30 miles since I lowered the fluid level, so I don't know if it work yet. I'm dreaming of warm weather. Once it warms up enough to drive, I'll post an update.

FWIW, 928Intl has two NOS metal power steering reservoirs on the shelf, complete with lids and the groovy red and silver decals.

I had a small droplet of PS fluid on the bottom of the reservoir after a drive this afternoon. The side of the reservoir was dry. It must be leaking from the bottom of the reservoir.
