Got a power steering... its leaking... TRI-POINT added fluid and its really soft when it has fluid... but my question is how do I make it stop leaking... I don't know where its leaking from... I wanna keep my power steering in... is there a rebuild kit of some sort...???

 

There are two hoses. One is a pressure hose you have to buy from www.mazdatrix.com or somewhere, the other is just a plain hose I think. I don't know the specs maybe someone can fill you in on that detail.

If you need to find out where its leaking, just place a piece of cardboard underneath the car overnight.

 

just get rid of power steering... it rapes precious horsepower and it promotes oversteer in cornering...

I like the power steering... its dripping from the power steering... its red and the rubber cover melted on bought the hoses...

 

Don't bad-talk power steering; I've wanted it back ever since I blew the hose.

 

I got rid of mine, no regrets, but let me put it this way:

After driving my rex around for about a month w/o it,

driving my 1969 ford 250 (no power steering or breaks) feels like pushing feathers across a table. Might as well be power steering in that monster.

When its working perfect its really great... It feels like a modern car.... with 18 years on behind it...

 

Trust me on this, I've gone from four belts to two (removed A/C and PS), and I can tell you their is no significant engine drag from having power steering. Power steering makes the car feel tons lighter. The only difference is the front of your car will lift higher.
