I am pretty sure I have a leak in the power steering fluid because I seem to have to fill it every couple of weeks. The service manager at Mercury said it is rare for this model, but if I do have a leak, do you have any idea how difficult or costly it is to fix it?

Thank you so much for your help,

First you need to figure out what leaks, a hose?, the pump?, or the rack itself? See any oil spots on the ground?
