Default 84 c4

I have an 84 C4, and have replaced the power steering pump, high pressure line, and both reservoir lines. In an effort to cure fluid from being slung all over my engine compartment. All of this did no good what so ever. I have read that the cap could be the problem. Any input? Thanks snezster!

Could be, have you checked the reservoir for cracks or lose clamps?

I wonder if you could put a piece of butcher paper under there to see if you could get a better idea of the geographic location of the leak. Also to see if it's being slung or sprayed?

My reservoir cracked at the clamp area, I ended putting one on the rad shroud like on the 85 up models. I was pretty easy & I used one from a chevy van.

First I want to thank everybody who has submitted there thoughts and suggestions. After reading this last suggestion I took another look at my reservoir and sure enough with the car running and my better half turning the wheel back and fourth, I could see fluid seeping out from behind the clamp that holds the reservoir. Question is now where do I find one as this is a discontinued item. I would do the fix as described above but this a for the most part an all original car and I would like to keep it that way if I can. Any help would be very appreciated.
