DURING MY EVENING DRIVE HOME ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY / TOLL ROAD I SMELLED A STRONG PUNGENT BURNT OIL SMELL THRU THE AIR VENTS. AS I WAS AT THE END OF MY COMMUTE I PARKED THE CAR AND NOTED OIL DRIPPING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT AREA OF THE CAR. AFTER IT COOLED OFF I TRACED THE LEAK TO A POWER STEERING LINE UP HIGH AT THE BULKHEAD. I PULLED THE OUTER CHAFE GUARD BACK AND ADDITIONAL POWER STEERING FLUID POURED OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THE RIGHT SIDE BULKHEAD AREA WAS SOAKED IN POWER STEERING FLUID. THE ENTIRE AREA WAS BATHED IN FLUID HOWEVER THE OUTER CHAFE GUARD ON THE HOSE ACTED AS A BARRIER TO PREVENT THE HOSE FROM SPRAYING POTENTIALLY COMBUSTIBLE POWER STEERING FLUID ONTO THE REAR BANK EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

I HAVE A G35 2003 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE RADIO 28041-AM883 CIRCUIT BOARD ON 5/10/07 (IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME). ALSO, WHEN I WAS TRAVELING UP NORTH THE CAR WOULD NOT START LAST WINTER I TOOK IT TO A INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY DISCONNECTED THE RADIO - CHARGE THE BATTERY - AND IT WORKS FINE NOW. TODAY 06/30/09 I AM HAVING EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID IN 2007 - THE AIR IS RUNNING A FULL BLAST AND I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT OR MY RADIO. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AND INFINITI IS WILL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS ARE ALL THE DEALERSHIP!! ALL THEY ARE DOING IS RAKING IN MORE MONEY FOR A DEFECTIVE PART - I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS CIRCUIT AND INFINITI SHOULD BE FINED!! *TR
