How did you miss that

Follow the two hoses from the bottom of your steering column (steering gear) to the steering pump. This comprises your power steering system.

There's not a lot you can do for this other than replace the hoses. Try tightening down the hoses. Also, inspect them for cracks. If the hoses are tight and there ar no cracks I would suggest going to the auto parts store and purchasing some power steering stop leak. It sometimes works and will save you having to fill it up all the time. Not a permanent fix, but might get you by for a while.

The power steering hose,goes down under the power steering pump,it goes directly down from the pump,and cuts under the engine to the rack and pinion,both hoses do.If this was helpful,please rate,thank you.

I would disconnect the battery minus - cable first, ensure the airbag connectors are the same ! otherwise I do not think you have a problem !!

if it's the return hose, you can just cut out the bad part and replace it with rubber hose and clamps.

yes but with the right shaped wrenches and tiny hands it can be done without removing the exhaust crossover pipe
