Power steering is kaput!
Guys, I've discovered a leak in my p/s system, and idk if it's from the hose/line or from the rack itself. From the looks of things, it could be both. I've already removed the belt for the pump, and I also have some pictures posted up for you guys to take a look at:

Let me know what you guys think I should do aside from replacing the line, which I'm already sure I'll have to do anyway.
TIA H-T

clean everything off ie: degrease it all, then run it. you will find the leak that way.

Re: Power steering is kaput! (Rodney)
I already know where the leak is coming from, it's in the first picture where you see that clamp on the steering rack. In the fourth, you can also see it's coming from the line as well (where it bends to go into the rack). I already know I'm going to have to replace the line, but what will I have to do with the rack (i.e. replace it, gaskets)?

just swap the line. if you need a rack, then replace the rack. at that point you can upgrade to an integra rack, which will be a little faster.

i disagree. i use it on my racecar, and find it extremely effective. i did, however, reduce the assist with a larger p/s pulley.
