OK, update on the smoke:
I put the car up on ramps and noticeed a lot of PS around the steering rack
and rear part of the sub-frame. I had a roommate (barely) turn the steering
wheel back and forth, and the smoke is due to a pin-hole leak in one of the
hard PS lines that squirts a tiny bit of fluid out onto the exhaust down
pipe whenever the system is pressurized. In order to get those lines off, it
seems like I'm going to have to take the rack out, right? Since I've
previously noticed small amounts of PS fluid coming out of the bellows, I
guess now is the time to replace the rack and any other lines which seem
shady.
Thanks everybody,
Pete
