Message	You might want to rethink the silicone power steering hoses. Even though they are not under pressure they are known to sweat and weep oils and coolants. Perhaps they have improved substantially in the last handful of years? I am basing this on what I have read and the past experience of others. I welcome recent personal anecdotes from others.
