What components to check when you are leaking power steering fluid im not sure were to start. I know its a pretty big leak and its leaking about a quart a month any ideas

 

on my LS1 the damn rubber hose had loosened enough and combined with years and years of rubber hardening and shrinking, it managed to leak while the car was running and the system was pressurized. I bought a new pump then found my loose leaky hose trying to install it.

 

Waht I usually do, is get a can of degreaser, go to my local carwash and spray the area to clean as go as possible.. Then go underneath and dry/clean all components of the general location of the leak...

Once the vehicle is parked, then place newspaper or cardboard under the engine area... check back in a couple of hours to see any drip marks...

Time and patience..

 

I have no clue on where to look im leaking oil pretty bad so im in the process of fixing that leak but that power steering issue have no clue on where to look

 

Well, there are only a few places to check, actually.
If I may reference shoebox's site, this is the system in a nutshell:

Pay special attention to all the connections of parts 30, 32, 33 11 & the lines on 1.

 

ok cool thanks will look into it

 

hey like I said with mine leaking, check to see if the leak is saturating that nylon sleeve on the PS line. thats why I could never tell where mine was coming from, it would run down that hose and not collect droplets because of the mesh

basically look for the low spots that it could be dripping from, and trace it up from there
