power steering.........
it all depends ive had a hard time with it i say its just easier to take it in and have them tell you what exactly it is and then go from there. i also have a 99 and the ps cooler went after that coolant and power steering mixed and softened all my lines so there is just a consideration to think about good luck.

I put a new rack in mine, and it wasn't all that tough. it gets kind of messy, but that comes with any job. the rack is only held in by 2 bolts, the tie rid ends, and the pinch bolt for the steering knuckle, and hydraulic lines at the box. you can either get new tie rod ends, or swap the stock ones out. don't forget to measure your toe-in (left/right)when unscrewing them. it was only like a 2hr job.
Where is it leaking at exactly? The lines are easy enough to replace, pump isn't too bad, rack seems like it might take a little time though. What ever it is I would suggest taking care of it soon, before that PS fluid does a number on your alternator. Even with a leak underneath the alternator, the wind will blow that crap all over that place, it gets all over everything.
