    Leaking Power Steering fluid , need advice

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I noticed a small puddle under the drive side in front of the wheel. When I look under the car the 2 lines coming from the Power Steering cooler are wet. The cooler itself is dry. When I run my hand up one of the lines toward the rack and pinion its a little wet at the banjo connection but nothing massive.

    The power steering reservoir was low as well just below the min. mark.

    Should I just try to tighten the hose clamps on the lines? IS there something else going on I should look for? Thanks !

    that makes me feel better that its hopefully not something major like a steering rack. I will take a look tomorrow and will check the boots as well to make sure there isn't fluid in there also.

    I second old guy, tighten the banjo bolts, also you can see if the boot has fluid in it, if it does, the internal seal on your rack has let go.
