Hey guys...

I have a 93 grand prix 3.1.

So everywhere I go, my power steering is leaking like a sieve...
empties the whole quart (or whatever is there) in a couple miles... you
can see the streaks on the ground where you were driving whether you
turn or not.

I've tried several "power steering sealant" products... all to no
avail. Slows down the leak for a little bit but then it comes right
back up.

Where should I be starting in terms of fixing this? I'm guessing
replacing the pump isn't the first thing I should be looking at? Lines
maybe?

Thanks!
Shaun

My '91 Grand Prix used to blow the High Pressure power steering line. With
even a small hole in it, every time you turn the wheel, it squirts all over
the place. If I recall correctly, mine was the line going from the pump
itself down to the steering rack.
