Fellow Q-heads: My poor little 80 has recently developed a small and very inconsistent leak which by all appearances seems to be power steering fluid. Because the leak is usually very small (only a thin spot the diameter of a coffee cup or smaller), and only happens occasionally (once or twice a week, regardless of driving conditions, temperature (10 - 103 degrees F. in last 3 weeks). The biggest problem is that I can't seem to locate the source. Occasionally, I get a *pop* (not CV joints though) when the wheels are turned full either left or right, *however* this only seems to happen when moving and more specifically when backing and turning out of driveway/parking spaces. And one last thing, my brake pressure seems to be significantly lower the last few weeks. Could brake pressure and steering pressure be at all related to this leak...? TIA for any tips, tricks, or other help in diagnosing the problem. Mark Mark A. Shilling V.(512) 477-4465 Texas Chemical Council F.
