Here we go again. I've had to deal with various power steering leaks on my CR-V, and it's got another now!
Last year I replaced the pressure line because it began to leak all over the top and side of my engine, and shortly after that the return line got replaced because a pinhole rusted through on it and it began to spray everywhere. Then I got into an accident about a year ago and had to replace the steering rack because it got cracked on the top and fluid was seeping out of it.
All was fine until today I go to back my car onto the driveway to move some toolboxes into my garage I had on the back seats and in the 5 minutes my car idled on the driveway it left quite a sizable puddle. Checked the p/s reservoir and it was basically empty. Filled it up and drove it to work (~10 min commute at the longest) and I checked the reservoir when I pulled into my spot, and it already needed refilled again.
I don't see any leaking around the reservoir or pump itself, but I did see some wet spots on the firewall and on the steering rack assembly.
