So the other day i got in the truck and the power steering was very loud. Got under the hood and found the reservoir dry. Added fluid and all of it immediately ran out onto the ground. So I refilled it and drove home. Power steering was quiet and when I got there it appeared that no fluid was lost. The next day I drive to work, everything's normal. When I get there it's suddenly dry again. Add fluid again, leave the truck. Come back its empty. Top it off, drive home and it holds fluid again. I'm dumbfounded. Can't see where it's coming from and nothing obvious is wrong.

No previous leaks at all, fluid regularly checked and in good shape, power steering usually quiet and functional.

Sorry for the long post, what do you guys think?

 

check around the rack or the cooler right in front of it as well as your steering shaft where it meets the rack to begin

 

found the leak by having someone steer left and right while i was under it. it's pissing at high pressure out of a hose i'm assuming is the pressure line. only at idle, when the sensor calls for more rpm to keep the engine from stalling. can't even see where the hose goes. has anyone ever had to replace this?

*the leak is occuring right next to the two wire sensor on the hardline, before it converts to rubber hose and enters the resevoir.
