Power steering

[nuron]

Yeah, I'm getting kind of tired adding PS fluid all the time. Is there a way to check if it's the lines that are gone or the pump itself? I have some makeshift plastic tubing on there right now. Going on http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,ca...gname,Steering
though, there are several categories of lines and fittings and I'm not sure which is the right one to get:

• Power Steering Filter
• Power Steering Pressure Hose
• Power Steering Pressure Line Hose Assembly
• Power Steering Reservoir Line Hose
• Power Steering Return Hose
• Power Steering Return Line Hose Assembly

check if the pump is leaking or the hoses first

I would check the PS hose on the passenger side front. My '85 Camry was losing a lot of PS fluid (filled up every 6 days, depending on parking stall driving), the entire hose had slits all over the place.

I didn't know it was leaking until I had the hood open and turned the steering wheel aggresive. A nice shot of PS fluid came flying from the hood XD

Also check around the steering rake housing boots for leaking fluid, this would indicate the seals are leaking.

Most common hose which fails is the pressure hose from power steering pump to firewall.
