Hey guys,
My power steering resorvoir keeps leaking fluid, level appears
to be right.
Could have some thing to do with persitant steering issue from left
wheel.
Taken to several suspension specialists and mechanics, they couldn't figure it
out.
Thanks for any help.

Re: Power steering
can be leaking from various points or where hoses are clamped but most likely to leak under pressure from high pressure line or via actual pump which has a couple of seals and o-rings which once perished will cause either a small/slow leak or a fast heavy one

Re: Power steering
It's not leaking as such, rather it's coming out of the reservoir
through the overflow valve i.e the cap.

Re: Power steering
I get the same every now and then when I have given it a hard time on the track. But it should not happen in normal street running.
As said above try replacing the cap.
