Not sure if the GT was hydraulic or not for ps, but even without fluid the car would still be drivable. Virtually no difference at speed. Therefore the conclusion from the nypost is, IMO, not based on anything factual. Now fluid on the road causing a loss of traction starting a spin/slide I could see but the fluid woud have been there already most likely.
