How hot does power steering fluid get?

[mrdeli]

Hi all,

I had a leak on my Freelander 2 power steering pipe. I replaced the pipe, but now find that the pas fluid reservoir gets hot after only a short (10 min) Drive. It is pretty much too hot to keep my hand on.

It’s not something I’ve ever taken note of before and am wondering whether it’s normal or a problem?

Thanks for any help. Mark.
