My jeep doesn’t hold power steering fluid it immediately dumps out and because of that the steering wheel is hard to turn and it makes a loud noise.. I was told by a mechanic that it’s leaking from the coolant hose… is that possible isn’t the coolant hose different from power steering fluid?? It seems to be leaking from a hose directly under the power steering pump… it’s coming from either one of these hoses in the pic.. Does the entire hose have to be replaced and what’s the name of these hoses? Could it be a clamp or rubber part that’s rusted or a O ring?
