Hey all! Yesterday got in to move my car, and there was a puddle of steering fluid on the driveway. The reservoir was almost completely empty and steering was making a whining noise. I haven’t had a chance to jack it up yet to get under the car, but I did manage to take these photos. Any idea what line might be causing this leak? Appears to be coming from passenger side. Please see photos. Any input on common components going bad etc, hoping I can fix this in my driveway but am not convinced it’ll be an easy one. I appreciate anybody’s help who has had a similar issue. Thanks!! Its a 1995 Camaro Z28 automatic.

Not a lot of people left on this site. I never had issues with the power steering in the 28 years I owned my 94.

 

I would suspect the rusted line. Spray it off with solvent and dry it and check.

 

Thank you all I have it up on jacks and going to look more into it today. I’m not too familiar with the car so wasn’t even sure what that rusted line was for. Also confused I’m having a power steering and some sort of coolant or refrigerant leak all at the same time. Thanks for the input!

Links are slow but eventually should connect.

 

Did you find the leak?

 

Thanks for sharing the 1995 factory service manual in PDF. I’m actually looking for these files. But my PDFs started displaying incorrectly, and I had to convert them to another format using a tool https://www.youtube.com/@PDFGuru I recently came across on YouTube. I’m not sure if anyone else has had this issue, but as a temporary solution, converting them works fine. It looks like the problem is with my PDF reader.

 

Did you find the source of the leak? Your high and low pressure hoses can still be found aftermarket if they're leaking.
