First of all, would like to extend a heart-felt thanks to all the responses.
Fluid spilled over the reservoir cap breathing hole!
Let me start from the beginning.
There is no metal shavings in the filter, the leak (judging by where is wet and dry) is from the smaller of the two hoses under the reservoir.
Tightened all the hose clamps, topped off fluid and did a test drive around the block. First of all, the rack moams and groams very loudly, new to this car, even after turning the wheel lock-to-lock several times. Returned to my driveway to find the fluid spilled over the top!
It appears that the fluid has no way to go! Initially, it leaked out of the small hose (where the hose clamp was more loose than others). Now that all the hose clamps are tight, the fluid escaped from the reservoir cap breathing hole!
Help. It sounds expensive too.
