I dont know if any of you remember the "problem" I was having awhile back. I was smelling something when I would get on the throttle pretty heavy, smelt like oil or rubber. Well I figured out what it is.
I have a power steering leak, I have been neglecting it for awhile now it was pretty damn low, so I put in some Lucas stop leak today. Went for a drive, so of course I had to play with the ponies, and there was that smell, but this time I knew what it smelt like.

I dont know what I can do to fix it, cause I believe its coming out the top. The leak isnt large enough to do it, unless it gets real bad around 6000rpms.

so whats it pouring onto, the headers?

sry im not too technical but isnt the pump the yellow tube thing under/next to the compressor?

no not pouring, I think squirting out, or the wind carries it onto the exhaust. Im not sure, cause I was under it today and it looks like its just ending up on the oilpan area. I thought my pan was leaking, but it was red fluid.

My PS pump took a dump a while back, along with 2 water pumps, lol. These ford parts really dont like high rpm it seems. At any rate, my mechanic fixed the PS pump like he did on his 8,000rpm+ dirt-track cars and no more issue, I belive your problem MIGHT stem from the line going to it, mine did. I regretfulyl dont know exactly what he did but now I have some industrial strength looking stainless fitting and it works great, lol. The water pump (#3) I simply hold my breath for
