I replaced my pump, and the high pressure line to no avail. The system works when there is fluid, but it has a slow leak. I did tighten a bolt on one of the connections underneath my car and it seemed to stop for a while, and nowit's leakign again. It's coming from the passenger side of the car.

how about the power steering suction line from the resivoir to the pump? also is the rack itself leaking from the r/h rack boot?

same problem but mine is the hose underneath the resevoir, does the hose need to be pulled over the lip and tightened, i asked someone and they said no, but i have tightened the screw and it is still leaking... i'm just thinking that it has been pulled off of that lip from the resevoir and it needs to be pulled back up and tightened...

I had problems with the rubber lines coming from the resevoir, they were cracking, I also had an AC line brake in the same area, I attributed the problems to the extra heat created on the driver side of engine from the Hotshot header. Now everything is wrapped in foil.
