Just got a delivery of the steering box.

It was in a shipping box, then the brand box, then a plastic bag. Nothing looks wrong and the box was in good condition.

There is what looks to be a little power steering fluid in the bag.( same colour) Not enough for a puddle just a light coating over it.

This this normal?

I am on the other side for the world where it came from so the box was more likely kicked , tossed, ran over a few times then dropped off a 10 story building then tossed out of a moving van at my house

Should i just wipe it down with a clean rag?

Mine was too and there was oil stains on it. I went ahead and installed it and not one leak!

Thats totally normal! Borgeson pressure tests every unit before they are shipped out, so that is just the residual from the testing. I know this because I called borgeson when I received mine!
Great upgrade, youll love it!

What ever plug they use to plug the hose ports, if any, I am sure they do not screw-in well enough to be fluid tight.

Mine came the same way. I believe the boxes are rebuilt and repurposed for C3s, so they must be tested with PS fluid, then drained and shipped. I think mine came with plastic plugs, more to keep dirt out than fluid in.

And like yours, no leaks after installation! It totally changed my wife's 79.
