I have noticed a leak recently under the pulley area (right side of engine) of my '91 deVille 4.9L. I THINK that it is the power steering. The level is a little low and is on the "FULL COLD" level when the car is hot.
The fluid appears to be a yellowish color, like water in oil. When I wipe the dipstick with a tissue, the fluid appears to be orange. I am not sure if this was the original fluid that GM used back then or what. The car has just turned 60k miles.
I cannot tell where the leak is from - could it be the pump or more likely a hose leaking? Looks like I can perhaps add a power steering pump of things to replace... I will add it to the power windows, egr solenoid, rear shock & ELC repair list.
I was thinking about topping off with some sort of stop leak (though I know many are opposed to this stop leak stuff). I think I have learned my lesson about buying an old car with low miles... setting for a long time really ruins a car.
Thanks.
