Message	My car's power steering system is leaking when I turn it. I've searched the site to find out the common suspects but when I got under the car to look, it just made things more confusing. From under the car I have the usual dripping on the high pressure power steering line, but there's also fluid on the other hose in front of it. Strangely enough, the alternator is completely dry. Upon closer inspection I also see dripping on the hose directly behind/under the gold fitting in this picture, as well as on the foam-covered high pressure hose. I thought that other hose was a low-pressure hose and shouldn't be leaking? I'm finding that there's a big difference between reading up on these problems and actually working on them. When I read about them the solution seems cut and dry, but when I look at it it's usually a total mess and I'm not sure what's happening there.
