[W126 Coupe] Power Steering Fluid Question and more

[samsisic at comcast.net]

Yes,
I've used the Lucas stop leak for the Power steering and it hasn't been a problem.
I will eventually get it fixed properly when I have my steering box replaced.

Oh yes, rat urine is amazing stuff, however, it doesn't warrant taking a chance on rabies shots... 
I get it on the black market and use it as aftershave before a hot date. ;-)
