Lost Power Steering
For the past month I have been sucking out my P/S fluid and replacing it with Redline Syn, so far i have gone through a bottle. Everything was perfectly fine before I started this and up until today. I took the Z out for a 30 mile cruise when i lost P/S at 15 miles. The car was squealing on moderate to sharp turns and completely unpredictable, to say the least it scared the sh*t out of me on the highway while hard accelerating. There appears to be a pretty good leak now under the rack, but i haven't lost any fluid in the reservoir. When sucking out the old fluid, the color still has not changed over the past month and looks like this:
Help me out here guys, what could the problem be, what should I do? I just bought some Lucas P/S Stop Leak, i'll put it in as soon as it ships here.

looks like it got aerated. where is it leaking from?
I did a similar flush on mine, but i used a $6 bottle of conventional parts store fluid- nothing fancy like synthetic. Been fine for the last three years.
