This appears to be a pretty big leak or set of leaks, though.
With the car running for a minute, it leaves a puddle of about a full ounce on the one side, and when I pull in or out of the driveway, it's a steady trail, not a trail of drips.
Earlier, I wrote that it is more on the right side than the left.
That was before I jacked it up and had it on jack stands.
Once I let it down, the left side is now worse, and the right side seems to have reduced itself to a minor drip in comparison to the left one, which is now creating the ounce after a minute.
With such big leaks, does it make sense that the bounce is still the accumulators?

Isn't the whole thing one big circuit of fluid?

The leaks are big enough that I don't want to risk any long drive for fear of running the pump dry and then having to replace that.
