What are the symptoms of a power steering leak?
Depending on the severity of the leak the first thing you may notice is spotting, where you will find fluid spots located on the driveway or garage floor. While looking under the vehicle around the area where the rack & pinion or gearbox is located; or the front of the engine where the belt is located, you will find fluid dripping. The next thing that happens is the steering wheel becomes harder to turn or does not turn smoothly. This is usually accompanied by a squealing or grinding noise when turning the wheel.
