    now we are getting somewhere lol typical leak is from the rubber return line. breaks right where it clamps on the nipple. need to take the wheel off to get to the line. maybe the splash shield too. if that hose is hanging there or cracked, just cut it off and re clamp it on the pump.

    It’s a grimy mess down there and hard to tell where it is leaking from but I could see fresh power steering fluid on one of the pressure lines about to drip. So I decided I’m just gonna replace both return and the pressure line with new. There cheap enough.
    So I got the return line off already. Before I buy the hoses and get in there, is there a recommended order to do one before another when installing? Like it’s easier to do the return line first of vice versa? Thanks
