Powerstearing leaks

[Myristica]

Are there known places of power stearing leaks?

Mines leaking and i cant see where.
Ive already deleted the cooler in the front.

But on the subframe everything is dirty from the oil.
And its so hard to reach al the places to clean it.
Its dirty from the hard metal tube ontop of the subframe, subframe itself and down til the botom of the steering part itself (sorry dont know what the name is for it).
So actualy where the steeringwheelrod, and the 2 nippels for the hoses come together. All that is dirty.

So any suggestions or known leakage points would be a help.

Most likely it is leaking where the hoses meet the rack. I pulled my subframe and started leaking there now, I have to go in and see if It needs tread sealer or just tightening.

The most common place is where the line meets the pump, but you would easily be able to see that spot and it would be destroying alternators .

Second most common is as said above where lines meet the rack. Usually just need to be tightened a little more. It could also be that your rack itself is leaking at the seals. If you put some UV dye in the fluid you will easily be able to see where the majority of the fluid is coming from.

As to the above, I believe the power steering lines are flare fittings so you wouldn't want, and it wouldn't help, to use thread sealant there. Usually the lines have just vibrated slightly loose or you just need to use a little muscle on them.
