power steering prob

I am losing power steering fluid somehow. I park my car in the garage and try and look for leaks, but the only thing leaking is the ac water. I can never find a ps fluid leak. Any ideas?

Re: power steering prob

it must be that the fluid is being forced out while driving

Did you try checking the power steering when the egine is on? Also check with another person in the car. The person must move the steering wheel back and forth with the engine on.

try taking off the boot for the inner tie rod end to steering rack. Check to see if there is fluid in there.

Re: power steering prob

It looks like it is leaking from the rack and pinion. There is a big black rubber seal that looks like it is bad.
