Basically did the same thing on my car. Zero PS fluid mess since.

This post is timely for me as my PS is whining like crazy lately. Need to see if it is low fluid, old pulley, or something... might as well add the catch can finally I guess

Maybe it's all in my head but I feel like my PS got quieter after installing pulleys in my car.

For those of you that upgraded PS fluid coolers, did that not help at all reducing the amount of fluid coming from the cap?

The method using the rear brake master cylinder looks cool.

Mine still did after upgrading my PS cooler, hence the catch can.
