Yep, My lines are all corroded but there is no color other than rust. The
pressure line is starting to show signs of leaking (wet but the level in the
pump has not gone down enough to notice) where the rubber hose is clamped on.
The outside of the steering box is also quite rusty. One of the steel
coolant lines on my 85 Daytona did the same thing but the 86 & 89 Daytonas I
have look fine.
