I can give u a tip, you need to make sure you have a real clamp on the bottom end if your PS return line. I mean where it goes up ,over and down to the back of the engine. The rubber will get hard and expand and the "squeeze" type clamp will leak very slowly.
Also the resivoir will darken make sure your fluid is full by actually looking down in there. Mine looked like fluid was full but it was empty. Since I cleaned it out all is normal. As for flushing I use the turkey baster procedure until it gets fairly clear.
