Exactly as the title says. I have a power steering leak somewhere, gotta find it tomorrow but its leaking onto the engine because its burning off as i can see white smoke and smell it as well. The reservior i filled up last monday and shes only low cold line.
Whats the go with detatching the lines, is it s simple and also is best to just replace the whole line or are they easy to fix whats the go here.
 
This might help
It did cheers, also quite simple with a look too.The lines were fine, the nut that holds line into the housing i think was loose. Gotta go down the street anyway so will test drive now and let you know final results
 
So the final results are that the racks seal where the steering column meets the rack, is bugger and needs replacing. I just bought a new rack instead to replace it and might give a it a shot at refurbishing my original :)
