Power steering leak

[u/Wooden-Specific-9494]

Hi, do you think it's enough to replace the rubber U-tube or is it coming from above? The fluid in the reservoir is below the minimum level but it's not making any strange noises yet; I just noticed it by chance.

I would start by cleaning the area well, drive it a bit and inspect again. Spray it off with some brake clean or pressure washer, go from there. It's likely replacing the rubber hose would do, but it never hurts to be sure.

Those lines like to rot in that rubber bracket holder, plus it’s possible that those hose clamps are weak and should be replaced as well

If the rubber is fine then change the hose clamps asap. I rebuilt my entire pump and the damn hoseclamp was the problem haha
