pipe, rack or pump, any of them, you'll need to look. |

check the gaitors on the steering rack for one, these are not meant to have any fluid in, squash them with your hands, if you can hear a squshing type of noise then the seal on the rack has gone and is leaking fluid into the gaitors, thats what happened to mine. |
