Advice on Oil leak.

My engine is leaking oil near the power steering pump, but I can't pin point where the oil is leaking from. Please advice, thanks.

Oil or PS fluid?

If PS fluid check the hose connections on steering box and on bottom of
PS resevoir itself. I put regular hose clamps instead of one time only clamps
that they use when they build the car. No leaks.....no big $$$!

If it is engine oil that is a whole new topic!

I had them same problem and it turned out to be the oil filter housing. There is a switch at the very bottom that sometimes leaks. Hope this helps
