What do you want us to tell you?


You need to get in there and start looking. There is no other way.

Maybe a cracked hose or a loose clamp on the pump.

^^^^ check that ... and also check to see if for some reason you have a crack in the reservoir, not something that would normally happen, but you never know

With little info to go on, we can`t really help you. But check for a cracked resevoir or maybe a busted line. If the pump is making a weird noise, make sure you put in GENUINE HONDA POWER STEERING FLUID if the fluid is low. Also, check the rack too...

it doesn't have to be genuine honda fluid, it just has to be power steering fluid specifically for hondas

Are you just standing there looking at it scratching your head or are you trying to figure out where the leak is coming from, if it is even leaking?

If your threads go true to form you'll drop additional crucial info that you should have put in the first post.

So far everything that has gone wrong with your car has been because of something you were doing. SO what were you doing to the car that caused this "leak"?
