Hi everyone,
I had my trusty zx broken into on sunday with the culprits smashing the glass, wrecking the door with a crow bar and then pinching my radio Sorted that with a 40 quid door from the scrappy but now i have developed another problem.
My power steering fluid is vanishing No obvious signs of leaking but there may well be if i could get under there. I was wondering if anyone knows of the most likely leak points or if this vanishing act may be a sign of the power steering pump dying (gsf want 130 quid for one of these)
Trying to save time as i use the car every day so any insight from anyone who may have experiened similar losses would be great.
Many thanks, Mark

If you find the rack bellows full of PAS fluid it must be a sign that one of the pinion valve seals have failed as these cars have an external ram.
There is at least one in-line joint or junction between flexi and steel pipe in front of the engine - this could be a culprit.
I'd find a nice clean bit or road or drive, park up, leave it and have a look for stains after a little while.
