So I noticed a leak on the driver's side front right corner and did some investigative work, and I believe my power steering fluid is leaking slightly when parked. I am however stumped whether it is a pressure line (hard) or a soft line from the reservoir. That being said, have you had an issue with any OEM clips that connect the two lines or any issue with the hard lines?



As you mat see where the leak has stained the driveway...





Lines that feed up to the front near the radiator (no A/C unit)





My guess was one of the clips that has possibly gone bad, thus causing a minor leak...





All other lines in Hood shape.

 

Looks like its leaking from the input shaft seal on the pump, rebuild kits for the pump are cheap and easy to install. And I hate the OEM spring clamps, I always change to the worm drive type.

 

You think it is actually the pump itself? Is this a common issue?

 

Looks pretty dirty behind the pulley. The shaft seal is a common place for the pump to leak, I have rebuilt about 3 for this reason. Also your hoses look dry... Where does the fluid look like its coming from?

 

I just had this happen to my 93 del sol. The hard line in front of the condensor rusted out and leaked fluid. Look thru the grill and you can see the loop shaped coil. If it looks wet, that's it. I just used a dremel tool with a cutting wheel and worked thru the grill and cut out the rusted section and used a length of fuel line with 2 small hose clamps to connect the loop. 2 bottles of Honda power steering fluid from Walmart and you're done. That's the cheap fix.

 

It looks like it is around the output hose, but it could likely come from the input hose seal.

To the other poster, it is not the hard line, I cleaned off grime with WD-40 and there is a little caked on still, but looks beautiful dark green

 

The input and output seals are just o-rings and easy and cheap to replace, if your still getting fluid leaking by the pump after that I would say u need to rebuild it. There's a DIY on here somewhere that will step you through it. Again it's pretty easy.
