Power Steering Leak help.
I have an 04' with a pretty bad power steering leak on the passenger side and I can't find the leak. Any suggestions would be helpful.

My '03 leaks when I'm backing up and turn it lock to lock. I can only figure that that is the highest pressure situation and blows it through a seal. Mine is more towards the driver side.

Well, there are seals on each side of the rack. Maybe the passenger side seal is leaking.
I wouldn't think the cooler would be leaking on the passenger side. There are no seals or fittings on the line on the passenger side. Maybe there's a pinhole leak on the cooler line? It is the low pressure side, so the hydraulics would probably still be functional if it was leaking this way. Maybe a stone or debris from the road in the cooler line and damaged it.
How do you know it's PS flue and not the AC compressor leaking oil? Or worse, the engine. My AC compressor was leaking oil when I bought it.
