Default power steering still leaking...
Hey everyone.. I recently replaced my steering rack and the power steering hose to the rack... I was always told that steering fluid leaks from either the rack or the hose. now that they are both brand new, where else should i be looking for a leak?? thanks!

Default You replaced the high-pressure line?
From the rack to the pump? Hmm, yeah that was the leaker on mine. Dunno what else are common culprits though....Good luck
