Flushed my power steering system today. Disconnected return line, drained with motor running, filled, and drained again. Old fluid looked like 4 month old motor oil. New fluid Prestone with stop leak looked crystal clear. Noticed smoother steering response. Probably need to top off after tommorrow.

Well I tried to siphon the fluid out first. It took 30 min. Then running the motor with the return line off took 6 secs. I heard the reason the fluid was so dark was because the power steering fluid eats up the rubber hoses. Is this true?
