I have had a few different power steering leaks ... got a new one now.
I now need a power steer pump .. and an entire new rack as well. YAY for me ... more money to be spent on the vehicle. It's never ending.

Sad Fact of life. We pay top dollars and the cars depreciate. I think you should just enjoy it

Good to hear.
Just remember to check your alternator. I had the same problem and the leaking fluid got into the alternator and burned it out. Apparently it's a common problem with AU's. |
