I had been following some posts about the high pressure line going bad. The past week I had noticed the pump was making some noise. I added fluid, it was down a bit, and the noise stopped. Day later some fluid on the ground, sucked out the fluid and started with the Lucas treatment. On the way to work this morning lost the power steering even though the reservoir was full. Is it the pump or worse yet the rack that needs to be replaced?

I noticed that my hose at the bottom of the reservoir was loose and the spring clamp wasn't really doing a thing. I replaced with a hose clamp. It's the only place I've found a leak in the power steering system so far.

I had the same problem 3 months ago. The mechanic replaced my steering hose and fixed the steering pump using repair kit. So far, no leak.
