1. Do you have a PS cooler?
2. Are your fluid levels correct after the boil?
2A. PS
2B. Clutch
2C. Brake

hey so all fluids are at correct level, also no signs of a spill anywhere (no traces) what is a ps cooler?

ps coooler = power steering cooler.

Tip on the power steering fluid level. If you track. DO NOT fill to the max line. Fill only to the add line. Reason why. When the fluid gets hot. It will expand and over flow the reservoir. Leaving a nice mess to clean up. Z1 makes a power steering cooler.
