Tell me about the leak if you have one because I have one and over the past month, I've put over $400 in finding problems and fixing them, but the leak is still there.

Within the past 3yrs

I had to top-off my reservoir 2-3 times with no noticeable leaks. I would recommend checking the rubber bellows that cover your tie-rods. This bellow might be holding back the fluid in case the rack/pinion leaking.

I just had my rack and pinion replaced along with my power stering pump amd my radiator hoses for $1200 out the door. I had some leaking from my power stering and my radiator hoses. It was kind of pricey but I hope it will last more than another 10 years with some care. I have a VG.
