Unhappy G35 power steering fluid leakage problem

Hello everyone,

I am frustrated because I have no idea why my power steering fluid leaks all the time, I have to add new fluid everyday because it constantly leaks. I already replaced the reservoir hoses but it still leaks. Can anyone help me detect the problem please. Thanks.

It could be multiple things, Power Steering seals, the Power Steering Reservior leaking, the Power Steering pump leaking.... without physically checking, it's tough to tell

Where is it leaking from? Have you inspected the steering rack? Refilling daily is a LOT of fluid.

It leaks every time I turn the steering wheel. No I have not inspected the steering rack, where is that located? Yes, I have to be refilling it everyday because it leaks that much.

Steering rack is underneath. Are you leaving a mess on the pavement under the car or is it leaking from where you put the fluids in? Hoses leaking? Can you even see where it's coming from? If not and you aren't car savvy, take it in ASAP. The car can be steered without it, but it's not fun to do.
