Power Steering failure

My power steering reservoir has always been weepy as well.
Dealer reduced the volume of fluid, seemed to solve the issue.
The same power steering reservoir used on the Grenadier is on my ‘94 Porsche 968 (BMW & Porsche used the same supplier). For the first 30 years, no weeping, even with the original o-ring. And the low pressure return of the 968 can dump a huge amount of fluid all at once. So if the reservoir is weeping a lot, I’d be looking for a warped cap, a poor-fitting o-ring or flashing on the glass-filled nylon parts.

I put Agile Offroad’s larger o-ring on my Grenadier’s PS cap as a preventative measure for angled terrain - it still doesn’t weep.

edit: What happened after the first 30 years? I replaced the PS reservoir (when I replaced the hose) with the latest Porsche / BMW part because it has a barb molded on the integral plastic low pressure return fitting, unlike the 1994 version. No weeping on the new reservoir either.
