    power steering?!?!?!?!?

    Firstly, it works but, it has a leak, and the level does not go down.

    The leak, appears to be where the pump is not really connected (losely touching/inserted) to a hose that then goes to the steering rack. There appears to be only two hoses from the pump.

    I havent worked out if the hose is return or the pressure side..

    but anyway.. should I just ignore it as long as it works, and the level stays good?

    Heres a picture of said hose..



    I also need a new drivebelt but I think it can wait..

    Power steering fluid is pumped around the rack at quite high pressure so I'd expect a leak to grow before too long. Do yourself a favour and get it sorted.
