I have a 99 Dodge Dakota V6 with a power steering leak. I spotted a leak several months ago, and it was very evident. I turned the wheel and saw fluid spraying from the pressure hose. I swapped out the hose and life was good. However, I'm leaking again. This time, I only see fluid leaking when the car is turned OFF! From my vantage point, it's difficult to see if it is leaking from somewhere on the return hose or if it's leaking from the pump.

Based on my description, does this ring any bells for anyone? I'm trying to get a quick answer before I thoroughly clean the area to get a better view of the leak.

Thanks much!

 

Ya just clean it up and see what you can find. I'm not to sure if they make it for a steering fluid, but try a UV leak detector kit. That will make it extremely simple to find it.
