Re: 396 power steering
With diesels, you might want to check first if you have a pressurized system before removing the cap. If the system is pressurized, you'll have a mess when you remove the cap. When you try to unscrew the cap, if you find it difficult to turn, stop and look for the reservoir first to confirm if you have one before forcing the cap more. These are usually located in the stern bilge close to the steering ram though I have seen some in engine compartments. In this type of system you may have low fluid OR simply need to add more air pressure. Look for this type of canister or similar to confirm the type of system you have. If this is the type of system you have, you must release the pressure first before topping up the fluid, fill to the proper level, then pressurize to the recommended PSI as noted on the canister.
