Message	My leak was slow going over about 8 years that my car sat. Eventually I found my leak at the copper washer on the hose, and didn't have to replace the expensive hose. Used this write up from Doug to find the leak and get to the hardware, and haven't had any problems since then. (Rebuilt the pump too and replaced the J hose). http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/technical/view/1125088/300zx-Power-Steering-Pump-Removal-and-Installation.html It's hard to see a small leak because of the grime under there. Maybe when you get under it you'll see it plain as day. Hoping it's something simple though! If I would have known addiction was this expensive I would have seen a shrink a long time ago. --BadZCar (FL)
