Default leaking PS fluid.

The pump functions perfectly but I have moisture under the reservoir and it leaks to the A/C compressor. I have wrenched on this car a lot and I don't think I need a pump but I don't know the PS system on the GS that well. Can't be much harder than my E39. So anyone got any suggestions,

The pumps on these cars are super easy. Basically take the serpentine belt off, then put a long screw driver through one of the holes and take the pulley off, then inspect the pump. If its not the pump, its going to be one of the lines going to the resivior. Or it could be the O ring that mates the reservior to the pump its self.

Thanks. That is what I was thinking but was not sure. The reservoir looks as if it is one piece with the pump which I found very odd. I'm going to tear it down and take pics and make a DIY out of it. The next guy who has this problem can check out this thread or I may make a new thread titled- power steering pump leak fixed.

This is on my to do list, the wife always has issues with the car but its 16 years old. Know I have exhaust leak problems and it makes the car sound like a vtec with a muffler upgrade.
