I have topped mine up twice in 80K. Have used about 200ml out of container to date. Planning to put it in for warranty claim before it runs out. Cannot understand why it would be normal to use PS fluid Desertman...Jeep service departments all seem to use same tactic that it is normal

They need to loosen and slide back the boots on the steering rack tie rod ends, the rack has an internal leak into the boot, get them to replace it under warranty as its $3000 plus for the rack and I believe they have to remove the front diff to replace

Dropped the GC off to the dealer again today highlighting the PS levels again and also noticed a pipe at the back of the radiator that was leaving signs of fluid leaking though that turned out to be an oil cooler pipe and they changed that out though still no problems detected with the PS system having a leak. Even highlighted the likely problem with the rack possibly being an issue though they mentioned they had seen this in the past though not a common problem. So still no closer to a resolution!
Will have to monitor and see if still an issue at the next service.

Did they actually check this Markus for leaks or do they believe it is not an issue with yours because it is not common

Dropped into my local dealer on the way home to buy some PS fluid, they gave me 1/3 of a bottle for free from the service dept.

My faith is sort of restored, still a way to go yet.
