Indeed, very interesting of a problem. I also thought and expected that it will slowly self-bleed over time and/or immediately if I assist.
Today I have a chance to give it another chance but i doubt it will self-heal. I am going on a favor taxi trip for family to and from airport, pickups and dropoffs on the way which will total at about 80miles on nyc local roads omg ughhhh so there will be quite some turning cornering etc... and as some of you know, it can -and prob will- take about 7-7.5 hrs of driving here which also considered being
normal in nyc.
If the car still will not get back to at least somewhat better, i will pull it apart again and see, or grab a spare and take
that apart for reference.
Thank you for the links, two of them i went thru a couple of days ago, and I based my repair on one of them, but looks like my issue developed for some (for now) unknown reason. Now i have a non-leaky bad system versus the leaky perfect steering I had earlier, before my reseal.
