    Steering rack leak?

    Cant put it on a hoist till monday but i've started to loose power sterring fluid pretty fast. all the hoses look good no leaks there. but i look under the car and turned the wheel lock to lock and it seems to poor out during right turns more if its hard all the way right.. u think its just a seal or could there be a line on the rack cracked? just want some opinions. have been getting alot of snow and ice up there so who knows

    nows the time to give up on powersteering all together... if you take the rack seals out. its actually almost just as easy as powersteering. taking the belt off or snipping the lines makes it harder then breakign it down & taking the seals out.

      ok i got a mx-3 steering rack.... not the gs one. brand new should still bolt in right. might make it easier to depower that then just swap them later
