Recently I've noticed that there is a leak towards the front of my car.. The strange thing is that it only leaks sometimes.. There are days where I come out in the morning and there is a small puddle of fluid whereas sometimes there is nothing.. It does not feel like motor oil... Not as thick.. Looking under the hood it seems like it could be power steering fluid but a very slow leak.. Has anyone had this problem? My car is currently in the shop getting looked at....
if it's a slow leak, it's more likely the resevoir or the pump itself. The hose tends to let go big time and without warning - I should know I've had all of the afore mentioned three PAS problems.
Hopefully it's not your steering rack.
