So my SUV is leaking power steering fluid through the passenger side coils. How do I fix it? it has barely been a couple of days. I tried Lucas and I put more fluid in there as well and it is just not working what else can I do?

if it is leaking in the very front of your vehicle the power steering cooler lines are an integral part of air conditioner condenser. if it is leaking out the line which I suspect it is you can replace the line. if it is leaking from the double arrow area that is the rack and pinion which can be replaced as well, but is about $700-800 to do.
