power steering problems vn

[spac89]

hihave a vn was sitting for 2 years before I got it the fluid was empty so I filled it till it stayed on the mark ,Had a mechainc out on weekend said rack was clean but now the fluid is like a deep red not clear and I think may have a leak at the high pressure hose, the car is steering heavy does this mean I need a new pump and rack or would the pressure line be causing this if leaking any help would be great thanks

best way to find out mate jump under the car check the high and low pressure lines that goto the rack see if they are dripping or if its leaking from the rack boots
