[Mgs] Torn gaiter

[Steven Trovato]

Simon,

I don't pump more oil in at every service.  With the front wheels off 
the ground, I move the rack back and forth from full left turn to 
full right turn.  I just do it from under the car by pushing on the 
tires.  If I hear the oil squishing through from one side to the 
other, then all is well and I don't add anything.  If the oil isn't 
being forced out of anywhere and the gaiters aren't straining with 
pressure during this process, then there isn't too much.  I know you 
were asking Barney, and I'm sure he will respond and give my answer 
the official seal of approval, or disapproval, as the case may be.
