Power Steering Leak
Got a pretty bad leak from PS. It seems to be coming out of the pump, but I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything else to try before I in there and replace it.
Also, any tips about the replacement procedure are welcome!

Re: Power Steering Leak
Lift it up and pull the splash shield so you can see the bottom of the pump. It's possible it is only the pressure hose.
When I replaced the pump on my 01, I pulled the bumper and right headlight for easier access.  This is showing the tools I was using to loosen the nut on the pressure hose.  Cut this line wrench to make it short enough to fit in the space. Overall, not a terrible job. IMO rsrocket1 likes this.

Re: Power Steering Leak
I noticed this morning that it was overflowing frothy PSF from the reservoir... does that indicate anything to you guys?
Thank you for tips.
