Hey guys,
My 95 GT's power steering return line (I think?) (the one located by the battery, is about one centimeter in diameter, plugs into the PS pump right under the fill port, and that sorta swivels around) has been leaking some fluid in the past. I can see a lot of fluid crap remnants that can be traced to it, but it's never leaking when I pop the hood. I was just wondering how big this problem was, and how I'd go about fixing it.

Thanks,
Ming

clean the area up and see how badly it leaks.
you can try and tighten the fitting, but that may only be a band-aid fix

The one that swivels is the pressure line. The return line just has a clamp on it. There is an oring on the tip of the line that could be the culprit. If not, the line itself should be replaced. Are you sure it's the one leaking? There is a change that you could be blowing oil out the dipstick tube (Like me). It ends in about the same location....
