96 Sable leaking power steering fluid Sign In

My 1996 mercury sable is leaking power steering fluid. I think it is only leaking after I shut the car off but am not sure if it is leaking while driving. Any ideas?

You can be sure that the leaking is happening while your driving and it's under pressure. You will see the residual drips after it's parked from previous leakage.

To determine what the problem is, it just needs to be inspected thoroughly. The lines are pretty notorious for leaks but it can also be the pump or the rack and pinion.

Th add as Mr Hammer said the rack, on the drivers side, is a common leak on this model.
