Hello,

Were you able to inspect to see where it is leaking from?

You can have power steering fluid leaking from any number of spots. Leaking hose, at the pump or at the rack are quite common.

The best course of action would be to do a thorough inspection to see where the leaks are coming from. If you have fluid everywhere then it might be a little difficult, if that is the case you want to first clean and then look for the leak.

Take a look at this helpful guide:

Please let me know what you find or if you have any questions.

I have attached diagrams below for your reference.

Thank you.
