just noticed power steerimg fluid under my car in unit.

 

i fitted a new pump a few months back filled it up and it leaked out all the fluid over night, checked all pipes were on proper and tried again and it held fluid for a while, i have now noticed it is leaking again from near steering rack on 1 side, it leaked a little fluid but has now stopped and apears fine,

 

anybody any ideas ?

where exactly is the leak from, the favourite problem is where the flexi part of the pressure hose joins the metal pipe section before it goes into the rack, duff pump pressure relief valves can over-stress the union here and start a leak.
