Unless the pump is putting a big, extra load on the engine, when it is low, it should not have anything to do with a fuel leak or lower mileage, IMO. Where is the leak, or can you see one?...Mark

well when the fuel leaks, it seems to be to the right of the hog head (if your lookin at the grill) and it is like three or so. im not sure where the leak of the power steering fluid is coming from, but it sure does leak

Have you checked the steering gear box for fluid coming out of it or any of the high and lower pressure hoses?

everytime i seem to look for a leak nothin can be found. granted this was before we connected the psf and the fuel leak. we did have a piece of cardboard laid out under the pump, kinda jambed/woven in there, and it was soaked today. so...thats kinda a general area, obviously
