power steering fluid leak

[Bill_s13]

Hey

Appear to have quite a bad power steering fluid leak coming from the join down near the lower (dogbone) engine mount . Looks like it's leaking from the join on the flexi hose side .

Is this common , and is that pipe the £180 from Renault one ?

I have exactly the same problem, had for a while and I'm so lazy and cheap i buy power steering fluid every 6 weeks (£4) to top it up :s hope it aint causing too much damage.

I originally went to get it fixed at a backstreet garage and they quoted me 100-120 for the part etc but they never called me back so here I am

I also lost the fluid cap a few weeks back as I must have not put it back on again after refilling

Am I a naughty boy?
