Angry Power steering reservoir port broken...

Was in the midst of renewing the hoses and this happened..any way to fix this tank and if not, does anyone have one they're willing to sell?? My reservoir has three ports because it's the self leveling style tank..

Do you have SLS rear suspension?
If you DO NOT have SLS then you just remove the pump on the front of the engine, remove ALL the valve block components and hoses, block the port off and you only need the PAS return to the reservoir!!

Get a single reservoir-to-pump hose and discard the hose with the Y in it.

You can use a 1988/89 PAS reservoir!!! Put DEXRON in the reservoir and go on with your life.

I am unsure on whether or not I do or not. I have a few pictures of the passenger rear shock, but don't have anything to compare it to to determine whether it is self leveling or not..plus these two plugs that seem to not be mated anywhere

The SLS rear level sensor is UNPLUGGED. The springs are SLS springs (red stripe).
The rear suspension is NOT working as installed at this time. I imagine that if the rear dampers have not been replaced with regular dampers, then you must have a very 'bouncy' rear suspension.

You might want to consider performing the SLS DELETE.
Hundreds of threads and info for a few decades.

Will definitely be something to take care of very soon. And yes, the rear suspension is very bouncy, especially going downhill on a poorly maintained road, rear suspension is also squeaky too, even under normal driving conditions. Will definitely be getting to it ASAP
