    I need to get the car on the ramps in the garage for athought look, but I cant see where its leaking. About once a month my powersteering starts moaning. You get a nice whine from under the hood and seams therack moans. Sure enough the tank on the pump is empty. I just put in some lucaspower steering “stop leak” to see if that slows the leak. I know this is just aband aid and I need to see where its leaking. It’s only done this twice andjust haven’t had quality time to investigate.

    Is it likely the power steering pump or the rack? What goesback more common? How hard is it to replace the pump on these cars? Car is a2000 GT.

    Rusted steering lines are common.

    Ahh. Thanks. Already looked at Rock auto for replacement hoses and pump. Not too expensive. Power Steering pump looks easier to replace then the steering rack.
