Power Steering leak... Help!

[Chrisssssssss]

Hey all,

Just wondering how difficult it is to service the power steering components? I have to put my car up on ramps to see exactly where it is leaking. I can't see it from above. I know that it is leaking from somewhere off of the passenger side of the motor. No way really to tell where exactly from though. I also sometimes get "smoking" coming out of the engine bay due to this leak. I think that it probably has dripped somewhere on the exhaust (guessing). Is it difficult to replace any warn hoses? what about the pump?

Anything else that I should look for?

Please let me know.

I had the same problem, i traced it to the power steering sensor, the seal had gone bad and was squirting power steering fluid all over the head, which is probably where your smoke is coming from. its hard to find but i got it from the top. its right behind the engine sort of in the middle, closer to the driver side..
