Well, it almost took the second coming of Christ to help this car stop leaking and it's fixed! The steering rack turned out to be the culprit in the front of the car causing the car to leak profusely. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> My mechanic said there were 3 leaks on it. The first was the one I described above. The second was the lines that he made. Turns out he had crimped the hose too hard and severred it. To solve that problem, he cut that part of the hose off and clamped it down to the line. Voila no leaks from that! The third is still unfortunately there. My mechanic thought he had cured it by tightening a bolt near the reservoir but it's still leaking there. THere are 2 tiny drops; when looking from the rear of the car, 1 seems to becoming from the left of the reservoir above this line, I cannot see the leak and I couldn't see it before. The second looks like its coming from the gap of the reservoir connecting to that line. does anyone know or have a diagram of the seals (if any) and hardware on the reservoir? I am so close to getting this garage floor spot free and I just wanna end this once and for all. It's good to be back on the road again though

Doesnt really matter much. Once you fix that leak something else will start. Trust me, i have been through it many times.

Euro:

If the reservoir itself is leaking, just replace it.

Another culprit is probably the hoses coming from the bottom. I replaced the line from the reservoir to the pump for the same reason.

Short of replacing the hoses, you may have luck cutting the ends off the hoses and re-attaching them. Just make sure you don't cut too much off.

Replacing the hose was messy, but not too difficult. Once the old hose is off, attach the new one first to the pump. Then lower a string down from the engine bay to the ground. Tie the other end of the hose to the string and pull it up through the engine bay and attach it to the bottom of the reservoir.

There may be an easier way, but that's how I did it. No more drips.

I'm not sure if the process is the same for your model year.

Hope that helps.

I just add diffrent fluids to the leaks on my car. Cept for the rear shocks lol.
