I bought a 90 in a no start condition. I did the front 60k meaning cam seals, water pump, cam sensor, crank sensor, front crank seal. The car runs great but it has a power steering leak some where. It only leaks when I go over 4k. I don't know it there is a valve somewhere or if the power steering pump produces more pressure with higher revs. it only seems to leak when it's driven. The car has 106k miles on it and has sat for the last 3 years. I can't pin point the leak, or even see any sign of it leaking. It's all over the pump and drips right below the pump. Just wondering if it sounds like the high pressure line or if the pump needs rebuilt. It has a broken front motor mount and now has a exhust leak becouse it messed up the gasket. Could it have moved enough to lossen something. the 91 is leaving this weekend so I can get the 90 into the garage to look at it.

if its all over the pump itself i would think the line that goes into the top of the pump from the tank might be bad or there is a bolt on the top of the pump what connects that line from the resevoir to the pump itself worked loose. Otherwise you might have a minor leak at the line going to the rack that leaks more under pressure(from higher rpm's)
