2003 sunfire..power steering problems

I ran over a curb last winter, and ever since then, the power steering has needed fluid a couple of times. I put some in last winter and it was fine until th weather got cold this winter..I put more in and about a week or two later it went out again..I even bought the stop leak stuff...what else could it be? And is it expensive? Thank you for your guys help!!!

that doesn't work.

what else could it be?

besides what?

And is it expensive?

Depends on what "it" means. You have a leak. Leaks are found by visual inspection, so no one can tell you what leaks without looking at the car. Power steering hoses usually leak with age, which your car doesn't have. It's more likely your steering rack leaks because you had an accident. For a car that new, the rack is likely very expensive. I'd guess a parts and labor cost of at least $500.

But my speculation is not worth 1/10000 that of a good visual inspection GW
