Power Steering Issues?Need Advice.

[rabidscoobie]

The other day when I started it up and was backing out od the driveway my power steering was whinning cause it was almost empty on fluid,so I filled it up and solved the problem then checked a couple days later and the level had dropped just enough to see it.

So I got under it and started looking at the fittings to see if it was leaking from there and they were all dry that I could see,but I noticed that where the tie rods connect to the steering...where the black rubber boots are they where covered in fluid as if thats where a leak is but I was unable to pinpoint it.

So anyone know whats wrong or what needs to be replaced?Im just wondering since I only get paid on the 3rd of every month,so I cant take it in for the warranty until then.....damn deductables.

Hmm...mine is from both boots.I normally dont like using any kind of stop leak,besides I have a full warranty that covers everything.I just wondered if it was a major or a simple fix.

Sounds like you need a rack. Your "bellow" boots are full of fluid. I'd put a catch pan underneath the car because they are probably near bursting.

Thx for the help all, I kinda figured thats what everyone was gonna tell me.It will be going to Ford this month under the warranty...hopefully there isnt any trouble with that part of it.
