OK. Thx. Did not know.

I cannot work on this problem for a week or so and will report back.

Appreciate the help.

Power steering pumps leak, as do the lid gaskets, the nut washer, low pressure hose, etc...

Clean everything well, soap and water, spray brake cleaner on to get it all dry...

And go driving to see what gets wet first.

It was a weeping (original part) high pressure hose. Replaced it this AM. Piece of cake. Took less than ten minutes. Sorry I put off the repair for so long. Also replaced the filter; without this forum I would never had known there was a filter in the power steering unit.


Love this forum.
