Default Excessive Power Steering Leak

Hey Group,
New to the group, glad I found it.

Anyway, my problem is. I got a 99, and few months ago the power steering was leaking. crawled under, replaced the presure hose and it was fixed. Now as of last week. I have a leak again.
This is excessive leak. I have to add fluid almost everyday.

I checked the presure line, its dry on both ends, the hose is dry. The bottom or the resevoir, dry. Presure hose ends are snug.
The return line, seems to be good as well.

The leak is by the driver front tire, the entire frame rail and surrounding area is covered (noticable from looking into the wheel well).

Has anybody experienced a problem like this?

Thanks,
chris

Your problem sounds like a leak in the power steering cooler lines that run up under the air box and then out to in front of the radiator. These lines are steel and over time can rot out.
