    Take the car back to the people who fitted the new engine and explain what is happening. Get them to check the power steering while you are there. They must have given you some kind of warranty on their work? Cameron P, what made you think there was water in her power steering system? Was it mentioned in another post? ie somebody put water in the p/s instead of the radiator?

    If the engine light has come on there should be a fault code stored. I'd check for fault codes first then go from there
