Power Steering Leak
I've got a power steering leak in my 88 XJ. It's as simple as that. But I can't find where the leak is to repair it. Any ideas of frequent places where power steering has issues? Thanks.

i had a ps leak that came from the nipple on the side of the reservoir, it was right where the epoxy covered the nipple.
my suggestion would be clean up all the lines and fittings and check it to see where there is a build up. then you'll find your leak.

typical leaks come from the power steering line fittings. also another not so common leak is the seal between the reservoir and the pump itself. also check where the steering shaft goes in to the steering box, some times it leaks from there.
