Power Steering Fluid Leak was created by 2013gary
Hi,
I popped the bonnet on my Jimny to notice that there's a leak on the pipe underneath the power steering fluid reservoir. (see pic)
The level doesn't appear to have dropped much so it must be a reletively small leak.
The leak seems to be underneath the rubber/plastic which is just after the bend in the pipe. How do I go about fixing this? I didn't want to start undoing things and investigating in case I lose more power steering fluid as I've heard the pump may have to be bled if that happens.
Any help would be appreciated.

clamp the rubber pipe and take it off to see whats wrong. wont loose much fluid.
to bleed it you just run the engine and go lock to lock on the steering a few times. air gets 'burped' out at the filler/expansion bottle, top up and away you go.
