Power Steering Fluid Leak

I think you're on the right track. The high pressure hose coming off of the pump is very likely leaking at one or both of it's crimped ends. P/S fluid can even creep up the hose and deposit itself on the resevoir/framerail area if it's leaking past the hose crimps. The hose is probably really close to the RF bumper area, right?

Of course the pump is really really close to the RF bumper area. Assuming that the new pump is not leaking, you still should make sure the two fluid pipe banjo fittings are tight but not overtorqued, anf that you used new sealing washers during the pump replacement repair.

Finally be sure that the H/P hose is routed away from any sharp objects where it is mounted on the frame rail. Take engine flex into consideration, especially if you accelerate hard like the 16YO with a Turbo FWD car that I used to be! (OK, I was 18 -- close) :)

I'd get some engine cleaner and really clean the whole area where you think the leak is, then have someone turn the wheels back and forth all the way to put a load on the PS. You might be able to spot the leak that way.

In frustration, took of the whole front bumper to reveal a pipe leaving the resevoir to go in a loop away from the engine block, and then returns near the resevoir to continue its path. I believe this is for cooling of some kind. The pipes were rusty, and you could clearly tell that it was where the leak was from. Cut out the rusty part of the pipe and replaced it with a rubber hose, leak has stopped runs great! thanx

That is a P/S cooler line, but it wasn't present in the diagram I was referencing. The cooler pipe design is found primarily on asian cars; it usually is plumbed into the return side hose and sits below the radiator in the path of airflow.

Glad you found the problem.
