i hav a leek of power steerin fluid. I changed the pipe going from the resevior to the pump as that seem to be leakin which solved it for a week, but it is still leakin. it takes about a week before i need to fill it up. Is it possible that the pump is leakin and if so how do i check, i havent noticed ne leakage while it is parked so maybe it is onli leakin while drivin?
cheers

Squeeze the rubber gaitors over the track rods. If fluid comes out, then I'm afraid you're in the market for a new steering rack.
