Power Steering Leak

[cliojohn1987]

Hey guys, ive developed a bit of a problem with my powersteering. I know its a bit out there but there is a leak coming from somewhere near the front driverside. There does appear to be fluid on the aux belt. Im not sure where it is coming from. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on the situation. Possible leak locations? I only realised when i turned the car on it sounded like the powersteering had no fluid. Checked the resevoir and there was no fluid. Any help would be much apriciated.

well that area is where the pump is, so it could be the pump itself that's leaking (increasingly common) or it could be one of the hoses/unions that secure to it. Needs investigating to know what's going on fully
