Default Next oil leak

Well now that oil pan is redone with new front cover seal and oil pump that leak is resolved.
now on to the next one :-(
the power steering is leaking dropped about a 1/4 of the tank in 3 weeks. Now that the front of the motor is not leaking I can clean it up again and look at it. Pretty much the oil is on the lower part of the vehicle, I don’t see any at the top side of engine or by the tank.

Could be your seals. If you're handy enough and don't mind working on it yourself there are rebuild kits for sale. I let mine go dry (don't recommend) and that's when it started making a chewbacca noise. In hindsight I probably should have replaced the pump but eh, it was rebuilt, sound a little whiny but is still running fine seven years later.

90% of the time the leak is the gasket in back. Abbes performance has them for $9 plus $4 shipping

I just replaced my pump and power steering lines. About a 4 hour job and glad I did the hoses too because they were badly corroded.

Same. The more stuff you remove, the easier it gets with those lines. They extend all the way in the front of the bumper.
