Angry Help with steering fluid loss 1994 Camry

I just got a 1994 Toyota Camry, it's losing power steering fluid and my mechanic says he can't find a leak. Any suggestions

I'm not even sure I'm in the right forum.

Squeeze the bellows at the end of steering rack and see if the fluid is coming out.
One of my customers had such leak on the REBUILD rack & pinion assembly of his 91 Camry v6.

Get another mechanic, or try and find the leak yourself. Clean the engine bay and all the p/s hardware - the pump, the hoses and connections, including underneath - and look for the leak.
I find simple green works well forthis, the more you spray on, the better. Scrub off any left over dirt and do it twice if you have to- just get it clean as possible. THEN look for the leak. Probably locations - at any and all connections, power steering pump, rack seals.

Lightbulb leak help

one unusual place to look is on the the fan motor. my 94 with the v6 has a hydraulic motor running the fan on the radiator. that hydraulic motor is connected to the power steering pump. a leak there could cause power steering fluid loss.. hope that helps
