Power Steering Fluid Leak
 

New to the community, and have a power steering leak on my 2000 boxster.
Attachment 23444

It looks to be the return line right at the reservoir, is this a known issue or do I just need to put a new clamp on it?

I took off and cleaned the fill cap and seal already, and the top of the reservoir was dry. Leak seems to be just by that hose.

I can't see leak. Going to need to post a much larger picture. Much, much larger for that detail, ya know? :matchup:

On another note... I believe that isn't the return line... but the vent tube.

Me? I'd pull the tube... clean it up again... reinstall the tube and use a different clamp.

Nothing I'd be alarmed about. After that: Google "resizing pictures". ;)

That is the reservoir overflow hose. It is usually a short line letting overflow drop onto the top of engine :/ Kind of odd to have a build-up right there at the clamp. It would seem to be an imperfect seal to do that.

I replaced the overflow tube on mine with a longer hose, routing it down the side.

Haha, I posted from mobile device and it looks right there, but yeah the desktop render one is a bit too small.

Thanks! Will try that and see how it goes

I'd not thought of posting from the phone. I'm an old. :matchup:
