No
The PS only goes from reservior to pump to box and back
The ACE only goes to the rams back and front via the pump and block on the chassis rail

so theres no way it cud have anything to do wth the head

thecomblad · Nov 23, 2016

biggeeeee · Nov 23, 2016

Heres the Power steering layout -

biggeeeee · Nov 23, 2016

and heres the ACE

biggeeeee · Nov 23, 2016

The engine is used to power the belt that runs the pumps for both systems but thats it.

Is your mechanic a Land Rover mechanic?

thecomblad · Nov 23, 2016

thecomblad · Nov 23, 2016

biggeeeee · Nov 23, 2016

Still doesn't explain the creamy PAS fluid, unless he's getting confused when the ACE/PAS is pumping perhaps

thecomblad · Nov 23, 2016

When you say creamy do you mean in colour or texture? When ps fluid has got air in it it goes light pink and frothy textured. Check it without the engine running after it's been stood a while
