Leaking power steering

[scc]

I've found a small seepage of power steering fluid where the two rubber hoses connects to the power steering pipes at the bottom of the car going to the radiator.

If I need to replace the pipes, I guess I need to drain the fluid. How much should I get?

Cheers,

think it is not that much , maybe 1 litre ???

Yeah, you should need no more than a litre to fill the system. When fitting a FMIC to mine i relocated the ps cooler and that was all i needed.

I had to replace my cooler pipe about a year ago it was also leaking a very small amount, there was on a thread on here somewhere. A few members had the same problem with a hair line crack on the pipe where it bolts on to the car, our outcome was it could be movement, temperature and/or damage from road debris or scraps. Its a really easy job to do, I think the part cost about £60 from main dealer ( /Grrr for a bit of aluminum pipe!!!).
