power stearing leak - Focaljet

**Brian K Simpson** · 04-26-2001, 11:39 PM

Has anyone else noticed leak from down near the underdrive pully. It looks like powerstearing fluid. I took my car in to have it fixed and had to wait a week for them to get the parts. :rolleyes Took it in and had it fixed. Now the leak has started again. Just wondering if anybody else has had this problem.

my power steering pump started to leak after one week and 400 miles of driving, actually it was probably leaking when i picked it up new and just didnt notice. the dealer said the shaft seal was the culprit, they replaced the whole pump and i have been ok since then, 4500 miles now.

I just changed my oil yesterday, and discovered power steering fluid dripping off the air conditioning compressor. Looks like a leak to me. Between the noisy transmission, scraping suspension, and leaking pump I will probably trade in the car before I have it fixed.
