Anyone ever have a hidden PS leak?
I'm losing PS fluid like terrorist that took a .50 round in the chest.
But be darned if I can't see or find where it going?
Think it would be leaking or sprayin all over but nadda?
It's well flushed by now with good fluid so I wanna stop it leaking.
Anyone ever had this similar not easy to find leak?

Yeah I have a similar leak with my $500 ghetto bomber project (91 RS). Its usually only gonna leak when the system is pressurized, so does no good to check when the car is sitting w/ the engine off. Get it up on jackstands and get the engine at idle (so the p/s pump is going), then get someon to sit in the car and turn it lock to lock over and over. Now watch for the leaks. What I would do if the leak is not obvious at that point is find an old white shirt or something, rip it up into a bunch of small strips and tie each one around each connection point of the p/s system. Makes it easier to see the fluid leak against a white background vice a black background. My leak is one of the hose connection points between the steering box and p/s pump on the steering box side.
