power steering pump leak
I have power steering fluid soaking my front end parts, couldn't tell where its coming from..hose, pump itself... What's more likely? How would I go about a repair.

I just messed with mine, You need to degrease the area and look for leak.
I replaced my hose and it started leaking from box above the nut. So i put a little brake fluid in pump and it stopped.

I got that on this site, If it is not a huge leak it will swell the seal up and no more leaks. I just did that last week and all is well.
Not sure power steering stop leak might be brake fuild also who knows.

If it is your pump, just a heads up you'll have to replace the hoses too if they haven't been done before, they were so rusted on mine I could snap it with my hand
