power steering problem????
So I looked at My car about 3 weeks ago and I notice that my power steering fluid was just a litlle below the MIN line. So I put some more fluid, and this morning I just notice that the fluid was at that same place. just below the MIN line. I looked under the car to see if there was any drops on the floor but I didn't see anything, but there is some kind of oil on one this one place ( I have no clue what it is called) Is where the steering column meets the direction bars that go to each of the wheels. it also has a hose that comes from the steering pump. Well any way that part is all full of steering fluid but I can't tell from which whole this is coming from. Hava you guys seen this before? I have no problem steering nor I hear any noises but I am just concern that it will keep leaking and then it will just break or someting.

That part with the rods that go in and out is called your Rack and Pinnion. Check the clamps that hold the hoses on. There probably leaking. You may need to buy some new clamps to get them tighter.

Re: power steering problem????
I had the same exact problem except i found no leak. I added the fluid couple times (where each time just a little) and still just a little below the min level. but finally stays above the min level for a couple months with no problem. give it some time, i guess?
