    Question Power Steering Leak

    Hey guys I noticed that there is power steering fluid on my front cross member below my power steering pump.I put my hand under the pump and it was wet ,but don't know where it is leaking from.Is there a common place for these to leak.

    The most common leak on the pump itself in the shaft seal. The high pressure hose is also a common leak.

    The leak is on the bottom of the pump from what I can tell.

    Sounds like the front shaft seal. Take the pulley off and see if fluid is seeping from around the seal. Replace it if necessary. Just remember that the pulley bolt is LEFT-HAND thread.

    Probably OEM vs. aftermarket design or something, one on the left looks like OEM
