Where would a 97 TA lost a lot of power steering fluid?
It's definently got a leak, and it's not coming from the area that you pour it into. Looking at my car from the side, it seems to be dripping about an inch behind the centerline of the wheels...
Any common area where it would leak from?
Thanks.

Re: Where would a 97 TA lost a lot of power steering fluid?
I had a real small leak on my pressure hose which ran from the pump to the rack, hard to find the leak because it seemed that the fluid was running down to the lowest point on the hose and dripping from there, but when I wiped it down and looked, there was a tiny tiny needle size hole (which you could not even see, but just saw the fluid slowly puddle there)...
I figured "alright, Ill just cut it there and put a connector and clamp the hose...", spent a few hours finding the right parts and putting it together (they dont really have 3/8 hose connectors here), started it up and there went the fluid. (connector flew out from pressure).
I removed the hose (PITA, requires you to remove the alternator and loosen the pump, hard to get tools in there, etc...) and had a hydralic shop make a new one.
