power steering leak 1967
I moved my 67 from the garage to the shop and noticed oil spots on the drive. Parked in the shop and later checked, puddle of PS fluid under car. Cleaned it up and the puddle reappeared later in the day. It is leaking with the car not running. The reservoir is almost empty now. Before I get started on it, is there any clue to what might be bad with the car not running and still leaking? Hoses I hope. It has been several months since I have driven the car and there was no oil leak in the garage when I moved it out.

PS hoses are notorious for leaking but mine was leaking from the ram cylinder. The best thing to do is to wipe the hoses, connections, and all components as clean as possible and look for the leak. It could be a hose, the valve, the ram cylinder or the reservoir. Good luck.
