Re: Power Steering Leak
Hi
My rack is also leaking.
I had it to the mechanic for another reason and he noticed the leak.
He said it is the rack and a new one would cost 500 - 800 dollars.
I am wondering how he knew it was the rack, and not a hose or something else?
He showed me the leak while the car was up on the hoist and it was dripping from just under the drivers side .
He said it would only leak while the car was running, as that is when the fluid is pressurized and circulating.
any thoughts on how I can troubleshoot this?
What about the price?
Maybe It is just a hose and would be much cheaper to fix?
Thanks
