Postby fattyb [OP] » February 12th 2011, 1:18am

Well I have got another problem with my 03 astro.There is a leak coming from a power steering line,I can see where the fluid is spitting out my problem is how in the @#$%# do you get to it?Do I attack it from the front by removing grill ,radiator etc.Do I reach in from the drivers side wheel well?From the top?I don't mind spending the time taking things out to get there I'm just looking for the best way in. Thanks fatty b

You need to tell us which hose you're seeing leak. There is a HP hose going from the pump to the Hydraboost (HB) and another HP hose from HB to steering gear box. The others are low pressure hoses.
