I am not sure if I have this in the right forum, but I need some help I am pretty much at my wits end... I am ready to send it to a mechanic..... I have been a lot of problems with my power steering laterly. I put a new pump on my 99 Legacy Outback a couple of weeks ago and it started leaking worse off than the old pump that was on it. So, I rebuilt my old pump and sent the other one back to get it replaced. I just put my new pump on and took it out for a drive today and I had no power steering at all.... I checked underneath the car and the exhaust was really smoking really bad... It looked like there was red fluid dripping down on the exhaust.... Any advice would be super appreciated!!!!!

Do a search for power steering leaks - you have to track down where the leak is happening - looks like you have a line or maybe part of the rack is cracked.
