Power steering fluid leak
I've been noticing a small leak on my 94. Seems to be coming from one of the power steering lines. There is a line that comes out of the power steering reservoir and runs down under the front of the engine. I can feel fluid dripping off of this line at its low point under the engine. The bottom of the engine is dry so I'm fairly confident that the leak is from the power steering. I can't see where this line connects to (it's dry on the reservoir end, so I'm assuming the leak is on the other end). I'm assuming that it goes to the power steering box. Can't seem to see anything from the bottom or top.
Any suggestions/thoughts?

Re: Power steering fluid leak (vette_guy)
One line goes from the reservoir to the pump-it is low pressure.
The other line goes from the rack to back to the reservoir.
What I would do is degrease the area and run it again...pinpointing the leak.
Also a leak from the front intake manifold (engine oil) can get down there too...quite common.
