My 05 Torch Red GT over the past few days has been leaking a red fluid. When I finally got to look under the hood and under the car I found it to be the power steering fluid that is leaking at the joint where the line meets the front pasenger tire. Should from what I can see be a simple repair. So this Thursday morning I will get my car fixed. On a bright side the same car dealership did a photo shoot today with the owners 1965 Mustang hartop for some billboards and other ads they will be doing in this area. So in a few weeks my car and the dealers old mustang will but up on some billboards I'm looking forward to seeing that up and will post a photo of that when it comes out. Anyway has anybody else had and powersteering problems? Should and I pray be a simple fix and at least its under warrenty.

I understand that there is now a TSB (technical service bulletin) out for the pwr steering clamps, so it must not be an isolated problem. At least yours is already fixed. There are also 2 more TSB's out, one for radiator hose clamps and I can't remember what the other one was.

Sorry about the entry above.....

Where on the internet is a good source for titles of TSB that are issued on the 05 Mustang?

I just checked service bullits for Ford on the net. Blue Oval News has the sevice bullitens described above, but they are for the Ford GT, not the Mustang GT. Could not find any service bullitens for the Mustang GT. Hope that helps.

ruhn4beer, I've found the best place is the various ford forums. Although this is the best (IMO). Some info on other boards is reliable, some not. Upon reading more closely, beachboy is correct, the TSB's I mentioned were for the GT, not the Mustang GT. oops on my part. However, that's not to say that down the road there may not be similar ones issued for the Mustang. also, from what I understand, most stuff from blueovalnews should be taken with a grain of salt.
