Default power steering oops..
#20 in this pic. I guess the dealer doesn't carry this anymore ()

So is it possible I can bypass this? Whats the purpose of this just to cool the fluid? what would be the effect if I remove it.

Can be seen there.

Currently its getting wet, I think its cracked or something. So I wanna fix the problem or eliminate it.

Go to junkyard, find old Ford truck, pull tranny cooler, and viola! Insta-replacement PS fluid cooler.

Not all Legends have it, I have had 3 and I don't think any of them had it.

Just use an aftermarket trans cooler. It will actually cool the fluid better than the OEM P/S cooler.
