The p/s cooler is part of the radiator or is it external?
It wraps around the radiator hose. That is about it.

I thought first that my pump could be busted, but I figured that because my pump doesn't whine and that the power steering works fine it was not that.

The fact that the fluid is low and that I took it to the track lead me to believe that it was just air. How can I test to see if I'm leaking coolant in there? The car will be sitting for three days, can I just drain a bit of coolant out of the bottom of the radiator to see what the coolant at the bottom looks like? From what I understand from Kurt, if there is cross contamination, shouldn't the bottom of the radiator have some of the power steering fluid?
