| what area is the leak coming from? from the rack? from the pump? otherwise ,clean off the power steering pump and reservoir area real good with hose and chemicals.place paper towels underneath,and next day with flashlight look for leak. could be p/s pump seal. eitherway PIA! | |

| If you had to add P/S fluid, well... it has to be going somewhere, so you must have a leak somewhere else in the system. Normally you don't need to add P/S fluid. It could be anywhere, but a visual inspection of all the steering components should identify the leak. | |

| i put P/S IN because it was low. I think it could be the pump or a hose. in the mourning the fluid is right under the pump. | |

| again,clean all the areas around pump. if you think its a hose clean that area,and check in the morning. if tis coming from behind the pump thats a seal. PIA | |

| I just went through this, mine ended up being a leak from the pump, then it went out. Have you noticed any hickups in the steering?.. If it's the pump, email Ed Morad, I got mine for $39 shipped | |
