Hello. I have a steering fluid leak coming off my front bumper. Looks like it's coming from under the rad. Any ideas?

I just had to replace my power steering hoses. My leak was the high side. (Established with dye) I replaced both hoses at the same time. You can get to it, but it’s a little tough to reach. I cut my hoses to remove them. Are you sure it’s power steering leak? Could be from radiator.

Thanks for your reply. Yes it's power steering. I checked the reservoir and I can see it's lower than it was before the leak, plus it looks and smells like what is in the power steering reservoir.

There is a "power-steering cooler line" (it's just a long u-tube) located behind the bumper.
The hose that is connected to it may be leaking

It's also common for the "hydroboost" unit to drip (same power steering fluid)
It leaks (just sitting) and everything under it will be wet.

Nothing else is wet with fluid except under front bumper.

This.. located behind bumper (common for hose couplings to link)

Thanks. I will have a closer look. I'm hoping the leak is from the cooler lines. Maybe a hose clamp or rusted metal.

I'm gonna guess it's leaking from the input shaft seal. PS leaks make a friggin mess. JMO, put I'd clean everything up the best you can using a grease remover, then remove the shaft linage boot.. Should be evident pretty quickly where the leaks coming from.
