power steering drains while sitting?!?

Ok right now it's completely dry so I'm wondering where it could be leaking from?

most common area for leakage is down onto the front cat via the pump, or the high pressure hose on the back of the pump

seals on the rack could be bad too

You might check the cooler too. (little radiator thingy on the front drivers side of the subframe.)

Man I need to get this cast off my hand so I can start wrenching arghhhh, I think it might be the cooler from the look of things. That thing is all sorts of greasy and what not.

look for the wet stuff... you're gonna have to trace the lines and then figure it out from that.

that's where mine leakes, and the cooler was COATED, you could hardly see any on the vanes. I took it off, cleaned the **** out of it. I took a piece of the hose down to the NAPA, and got about 2 feet of it, two splices, and hose clamps. I just spliced in new ends out of the new hose. Hasn't leaked a bit in about 3k miles.

mine was the pressure line - pita to change! fyi - the fittings will want to cross thread and are hard to turn.

That's about what mine looks like, I wish there was someone local to me that would come out for free beer and lift time to help me out lol.
