Power steering info. needed
Im losing power steering fluid somewhere. I think its somewhere on the line coming from the gear box. Im looking in my Chilton, and I can't find the piece. It's like a metal junction with rubber hoses leading off, and some type of sensor. I think its leaking where the rubber comes of the metal. How can I fix this. I tried sealing it with silicon, but no luck. Is this piece expensive. I appreciate any help.

You need to replace the high pressure hose assembly. It can't be fixed.

Actually, you can repair this hose by removing it from the car and carefully cut away the crimped outer portion of the hose connection being sure not to damage the inner barbed peice of the connector. Now you can just clamp on a new peice of rubber hose with standard hose clamps. I believe one side of this system is fairly high pressure so be sure to make a good connection.
