Default a few leaks (ive posted about them before but have a few questions)

I believe there to be a very very small coolant leak and im sure its a hose clamp on the drivers side. i will look into it tomorrow and see if i can find it, i think the PS fluid might still be leaking (the lower hose to the resevoir was leaking when i flushed it) The hose clamp seems good now but i still see some green fluid on the engine underneath, maybe its only coolant but if it is PS fluid this is my question...

A while back i asked why my PS fluid level changes so much, one time when i was showing someone the car the hood was up and the PS level was an inch above maximum and i asked about it because usually its 3-4 inches below that level, skolnick said it was a bad valve in the bomb, but i have brake pressure after turning the car off so i dont think the bomb is bad. what else could cause this weird level fluxiation? i dont want to add more when its low for fear of having it burst when it gets higher.

Default If you're using stock G011coolant fluid. Green = coolant leak. It leaks from the clamps

on the reservoir hoses, and return hose and trickles down the frame onto the Bomb. So even if it looks like it came from the Bomb, don't assume it is PS fluid.

Default id also like to add, before i flushed the fluid and tighted the clamps for the power steering

It was doing that random level change, somtimes it would be extreeeeeemly low and others it would be on the min line. so i dont think there is air in the system from when i did the flush.
