I was told I had a leaking pump six months ago even though there was no obvious leak. Since then it has been replaced twice as well as a hose and a seal and continues to leak. I am at my wits end. Anyone out there that can relate or pass on advice? Any help would be appreciated.:confused:

You say there is not obvious leak? You are losing fluid? Check the steering unit itself.

Is a shop doing this? How was it determined that the pump was leaking if there was no obvious leak? :dunno:
Sometimes the rack will leak from the seals and the fluid gets held in the dust boots, poke a very small hole in the bottom of both and see if fluid runs out. If no fluid, clean the boots and seal the holes up with RTV sealant.
