I wasn't getting any power assist at all, so I decided to get a reman PS pump. Aside from the swap being tedious (due to it being a long time since I've done one) it went fairly well, until I started the motor and no power assist. There's a Caddy PS cooler, which I disconnected to eliminate any problems, but still nothing, and even after filling the reservoir the fluid level doesn't go down. My question is, what are the symptoms of a failing power steering gear? Should I raise the car and bleed the system slowly, or is there a possibility that the gear is shot? The car sat for nearly 10 years with the steering gear ports open, so is it possible that there's a blockage in the gear? This thing is throwing me curve balls trying to get it back on the road, but apart from carburetion issues, the PS is the final thing that I have to address.
