So I failed the annual safety inspection because of power steering fluid dripping while the engine is running. I had the inspection done at the Ford dealer who claimed that the pump needs to be replaced. I did not see any leak from behind the pulley. Could the pump leak from anywhere else or would the leak be from a hose connection? If it's a connection, then can I just replace an o-ring?
I want to remove the upper IC tube and then run the engine to check for the source of the leak. Can I substitute a clothes dryer plastic duct for the IC tube or will it be sucked into the IC? I won't be running the engine for long so heat should not be a problem.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
