Guys, i have a question regarding the fluid in the reservoir. I was looking to buying a ‘96 240 and while looking through the engine while it was running i noticed the power steering fluid (AT fluid) in the reservoir jumping all over the place within the reservoir. Had the cover been off the fluids would have definitely been pouring out a bit. It didnt look to be bubbling like boiling water and i didnt open the reservoir to see if it was foaming. It just looked to be jumping around pretty rapidly all over the place. I never recall that happening with my previous 240 or ever heard of that happening with cars. Is that normal or a sure bet to a future issue with the fluid line or steering pimp? As always, thanks in advanced and moderators forgive if i posted this in the wrong place. I believe this is my first post created regarding an engine question.
