Power Steering Problems - 2002 Chev Cavalier
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.

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

Re: Power Steering Problems - 2002 Chev Cavalier
Is a shop doing this? How was it determined that the pump was leaking if there was no obvious leak?
 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.
