the only powersteering line running by your bumper on the passenger side is the power steering cooler part which is in front of your oil cooler, basically a metal line that runs horiztonal, loops around, and goes back to the driver's side.



if that somehow popped you'd get a big spray of p/s fluid and your p/s would stop working.

Sounds like teknics has solved your problem. Power steering line.

MOP lines are on the passenger side also. Check your oil level on the motor and your PS to be sure. Never just assume.

Assuming your car is a turbo model it could also be the oil feed line to your turbo. Like nemesis said be sure never just assume.

You think you did. If you remember, I had a hard time tellin' you my number...my buzz wins!



And yes, it is PS. My car leaks a lil oil, and its darker then the PS fluid(not by much). I got oil, PS is empty...
