Well i've been having this leak for some time, couldn't identify it right away until I got that noise in the steering when you turned the wheel.

Sure enough, I checked the level and when it was supposed to be at FULL HOT it was at LOW. I added fluid and in a matter of days the noise dissappeared. I am now confident the fluid is PS fluid.

The leak is coming from forward of the left front wheelwell. What should I be concerned with here? Lines? It can't be the rack and pinion itself because the leak isn't coming from the wheelwell area. Remember - its FORWARD of the wheelwell, right below the starting of the left turning marker.

With the car running, try having a friend turn the car to one of the locks while you look for the leak, one of my P/S hoses must have a pinhole leak or something, since thats the only time it shows up.

That would be power steering fluid rather than oil. I just replaced my high pressure PS hose, and it's a bitch getting it aligned just right for it to screw down. I don't know if yours is the same way, but it could take awhile.

mine is leaking from one of the lines just behind the drivers front side tire there are two lines clamped together to the the frame piece there..rust has taken one of the two lines to leaking... can they be changed? or can they be temprorary fixed?
what options would I have?

Check your lines and good luck. Check the lines going into the pump too. It can run down the hose before it drips.
