Auto-RX in power steering fluid question

[wtd]

The power steering pump on my 98 chevy truck has been slightly leaking so I added 2oz of Auto-RX as suggested. Now my power steering is acting funny. It feels like the front end of the truck is on ice because the steering seems alot easier but its also jerky in motion. This truck has an EVO steering sensor whichs help controls the steering at low speeds and I think the Auto-RX has affected the operation of this sensor in some way.

Should I leave the Auto-RX in or does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

auto-rx is not a mechanic in a can.


drain all the fluid, flush it, repair the leak and be done with it.

I know Auto-RX is not a "Mechanic in a can" but I saw where Frank posted that it could be used in power steering pumps to stop leaks and used as a maintenance dose after that. I'm just asking what could be wrong.
