Can you tell WHERE it is leaking from??

IF it is the rack/rack seals, you will sadly enough have to replace the WHOLE rack, as most/all of the 'mechanic in a bottle' fixes will NOT even BEGIN to slow these leaks down, but IF you want to try one, the ONLY one I've ever even heard of slowing down (but NOT 'curing') a rack seal leak is the ATP-205 Reseal product.

TOTALLY avoid the Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak if you are in a frigid part of the country as this stuff is SOOOOO damned thick/viscous it will KILL your p.s. pump on start up in 25* F or colder temps (it turns to a Jello like state, or thicker at these temps).

Is the leak ...leaking fluid or is the leak allowing air into the system ????? in which case you might have to replace the P/S pump or the inline p/s cooler that shares with the radiator fluid(doesnt really work effectively)....you can try disassembly of the p/s pump/reservoir and replace the seals but its a PITA and the seal kits arent always good QUALITy for the time and effort it takes to take it apart and piece it back together. I bought a reman from advanced for 100$ 2 years ago still havent had a problem.

I just got done fixing my PS leak over the weekend, it was my pressure line, got all the info I needed on replacing it from this site, also, my alternator went out at the same time... All in all, took 2 hours with a friend to replace both.

Get in your car and have a friend look in your engine bay/under your car, then turn the wheel full lock left and right, to see where the leak is coming from. Good luck.

This. We can point you in the right direction once you figure this out.
