Re: 1999 Windstar Power steering fluid leak

Where are the obvious places to check for leaks? I don't see anything obvious in the engine compartment, nor any fluid dripping under the car when parked in my garage or idling.

This minivan has ~110,000 miles on it.

If the fluid level is right, the power steering works fine and doesn't make any noise, so I think the pump/power steering is fine.

I just need to find the source of the leak and repair it, if possible.

Thanks for any help on this.
There is a TSB on power steering fluid leaks from the end seals, unfortunately the TSB calls for replacement of the steering gear with a revised version.
