Hi guys,

Spent the morning/midday just cleaning our 'new' car. Worked over all the weatherstripping to keep her supple then tackled the engine compartment. I think I read somewhere on this forum with all the wealth of info about these:
In my attempt to just clean them, one slipped off and got swallowed up between the inner and outer fender. So I found a small plug to cover the nipple. No problem. On to the other side where it promptly broke, they're brittle. Managed to fish it out. now will the car run (smile)? The fact that it's open at a 90 degree from the nipple means it has something to do with relieving moisture/fogging condition, right? What do you guys do for a work around?

Is the power steering fluid just Chrysler or something special by Mercedes? I plan on sucking that out and putting in fresh.

Which brings me to a couple of more questions. Is the stock 3:07 rear end a positraction unit? I think I read 75-90 dinosauer oil right. If the unit is a posi, do I need to add the posi additive?

Really appreciate your feedback!

Thanks in advance!
