Did you bump the reservoir? Maybe cracked/dislodge/broken neck?

I was alittle ruff so il give that a check, Thanks mate.

It doesnt look like its coming from the reservoir, I think it maybe coming from under the car from one of the hoses.


How hard is it to change the powersteering hoses or should i just take it somewhere?

Clean it up and inspect if it's lines or the rack itself...

How hard is the rack to do?

just spray some degreaser on every connection, then let it dry, then run your car and look to see where it is coming from. Then assess what needs replacing.

Found one of the rubber hoses that goes to the rack has come loose, Well the clamp has. So im guessing thats the problem

and look at your auto lines on the left front of the engine bay arent leaking now either (if oyu have a cooler~!)

[vps231]

Thanks for reminding me, They come loose every now and then but i havnt checked for awhile.

The top hose in this pic is loose but i cant seen the other side of the clamp. It doesnt look like a normal clamp, Any1 know if i can just tightening it or what the go is?



Thanks guys

It's the fluid return hose and it just has a hose clamp on it, if you rotate the clamp on it you will see the screw and it just needs to be done up. If it still leaks you can try cutting the end off the hose to get a good end or if it's not long enough get a new hose. It's a fairly common point for the steering in these cars to leak. After you tighten it up get a can of degreaser and clean it up and check for leaks over the next few days.

Would check to make sure the hose is ok first. Squeeze it and it should feel rubbery if not get a new one.
