Hi everyone, I purchased an 84 swb pajero earlier this year. It's going well, my wife and i have taken it out and had quite a bit of fun.

Unfortunately neither my wife and are very mechanically minded. in fact, everything and anything under the hood is a complete mystery!

fortunately i have a great mechanic, who is friendly and honest. he is pretty busy though, so he can't always be there to answer my obviously naive questions

I have a question about the power steering. Along with the radiator cap, and dip stick, the mechanic showed me the cap to the power steering. A similar style cap to the radiator but smaller. He gave me a bottle of some red liquid called "Power Steering Stop Leak & Conditioner" to put in it.

I have a question to all you knowledgable members. Can I just keep topping up the power steering with this conditioner? I have noticed that over time the level has gone down.

What does the conditioner do? Does it just plug holes? Or does it also help smoothen the power steering?

Thanks for your help
