Check the Power Steering and transmission fluids to make sure that they are at correct levels. If the leaking one is not low, then clean the areas where fluid is showing and keep checking to see where the leak is. Check all line connections in both systems for visible leaks.

How do you tell if it's the pump or the hose leaking power steering in a Chevy Monte Carlo?

Turn your vehicle off and then wipe the excess fluid from the power steering pump and line. Survey the power steering pump to see if their are any holes or dings. It may be hard to see so try using your hand to feel around. You may have to wait for engine to cool. If you did not find any leeks then top off the power steering fluid. Watch the power steering line while having a partner or friend turn the engine on and turn the steering wheel fully in one direction and the same in the opposite direction. Watch the power steering line to see how far up it is leaking. If you can not see where it is leaking because of too much fluid leaking, then re-wipe and try again. If you still can't tell then take the line off and make sure the hole on the pump where the bolt goes in is not damaged. Then make sure the bolt itself is not damaged.If the hole or pump is damaged then you need a new pump and if the line or bolt is damaged you need a new line.


Why is the power steering fluid coming out the exhaust of a 99 levus SC 400?

There is no connection from the power steering system and the engine systems. The only conceivable way that power steering fluid would be coming out of an exhaust system is to have power steering fluid poured into the fuel line. Transmission fluid could be coming through a vacuum line. This may appear to be similar to power steering fluid.

Why is your car still leaking power steering fluid and you just got it fixed?

If you got it fixed at a repair shop or a dealer I'd take it back and have them fix it. If you fixed it yourself, it could be as simple as that you forgot to replace an o-ring on the power steering pump line.. If I knew where it was leaking, I could help you pin point the problem.
