Power Steering Leak!

Noticed today I have a leak coming from my power steering pump today. Anybody else had a problem with this? Should I just keep adding flud tp it? The leak is very small.

Mine was leaking also. Checked fluid and it was pretty low. Filled to fill line and now the leak has stopped. I am not sure what I did but I guess I will just keep an eye on it.

I had a leak in that area and it ended up being the rubber transmission cooler lines.

Noticed that mine started leaking (drips appear on the bottom of the pump) right after my 3/36 warranty ended. Guy at the dealer told me to make sure the vent in the cap wasnt plugged (dont see one). Anyway, I have only had to fill it twice (and it wasnt that low) in the last 50'000 miles so what the heck.

Yep. . . . a real leaker. . . . already had it changed out at 20K miles. Also watch out for the little heater hose to start leaking between motor and firewall just behind your turbo. Oh and the tempermental injectors. . . .they start to crap up if you don't run cleaner real regular or run it hard and long up a steep grade every week or so.

After reading your signature it is not very likely we have to worry about you and your injectors. . . . .I bet your not idling around trying to squeeze every MPG you can.
