i heard that when you put power steering fluid on to any rubber seals, that it will make them swell up, is this true, and if so then could it be used to make the seals around doors and windows tighter?

i heard of brake fluid making rubber swell specifically rubber seals. i also heard a couple people say to put some brake fluid in auto trannys that are going bad it makes em run good for a couple weeks just to sell a car... i guess thats one of those sleasy used car salemen tacktics... but being so close to paint i wouldnt want to do that if any gets on the paint it might eat it up...

my 2 cents

I'd like to get $6,000 out of it.
It's a 1995 Si with (well, now it has) 84,000 miles on it. It has a spoiler, tinted windows, power everything, and a top end Clifford Alarm---The Intelligard 8000. (tilt sensor, proximaty sensor, rear window up and down, and trunk pop all on the remote.) It's clean, and it's been taken care of by me
It Blue Books for about $9,000, so I figure, I'd put up with some leaks to save 3 grand!

Whatever Frank! I paid more than that for it, so why not It's technically worth more than that. AND B16s go for a lot more than $6000.

Whatever! My car is a piece of crap!!! And BTW---when I took my car to you when I was going to buy it---racing stripes and all---you said it was CRAP, and WHAT A SHITTY DEAL. So this is your fault. And Brett's and Adam's...you all didn't know! And you should have.
