I have a pretty good leak that has to do with my power steering, but I can't see any visible points of the leaking. I do see it pouring out from the right(passenger) tie-rod boot? It drains out pretty fast and I have filled the P/S reservoir and it has emptied out. P/S pump looks fine as does the lines. So tight in there it's hard to get a real good look without removing alot of stuff! Anybody have any experience with this sort of symptom? Thanks in advance!
