Power Steering Leak after Track Day - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Maybe it just overheated and it came out the overflow, and dripped down.

I have a UD pulley as well and no trouble with power steering after 20+ track days since I.put it on.

Thanks for the under pulley suggestions. It is a easy fix that I will definitely do. The PS cooler I have to think about and research some more.

@steved0x
My undertray was full of PS fluid. I did another 2 hours of spirited driving yesterday before noticing the leak. I was at the track on Monday about 90mins away from home. Maybe it was a slow leak since I clocked another 3 hours of driving after the track day?

Clean it up, check and fill your ps reservoir, drive it for a while (spirited driving is not as demanding as track driving). Check for leakage again. If none, the the udp will probably solve your issue.

I think the overflow tube just dumps it on top of the engine, and then after it builds up it can run down. I would take a quick look up there, if you don't see anything, it is probably one of the fittings from underneath like you suggested in your original post.
