Trying to prepare myself for what to expect after noticing a puddle under the car after starting it. Seems to be collecting in the skid plate and leaking out of a crack near the passenger side. I can't see any fluid sprayed or leaking anywhere from looking into the engine bay, not even near the reservoir. What's the most common failure - please say a hose end at the steering column that can be fixed with just a new hose, LOL.
Also, I need to get it the car onto my 4-post lift without dripping PS fluid everywhere. Which of these 2 options is better, or is there another option?
1. remove the accessory belt to stop the PS fluid from pumping
2. drain the PS fluid and run the pump "dry" - will the residual fluid provide enough lubrication to avoid damage?
