Re: power steering leak ?

If it is a Z32 then almost everyone has them.

Usually the high pressure hose which is a PIA.

First you might want to try one of the stop leaks fluids, I did and it stopped leaking, so far so good, I really didn't want to mess with it.

Be careful though... you don't want your Alt. getting leaked on!
