Power Steering

Has anyone changed the power steering for the Mark VIII? I was looking at it & it seems easy.... I have been adding fluid for 3 straight months to the pump & I see an oil spill under the car... I though it might be a hose that is leaking but I don't see the leak so I'm assuming it's the pump.... Any suggestions?

The pump is no harder on a Mk 8 than any other car. Make sure the clamps on the return line are tight.

Try changing your reserve hose. Very simple change and it was the culprit of my PS leak. Hasn't leaked one drop in nearly a year but before the hose change, I was adding PS fluid the same as you.

Total time to fix the hose was about 10 minutes.
