Arrow Power Steering Leak?? help im messing up my concrete!

Ok everyday i get home and after about an hour or so i look under the car and theres a puddle of power steering fluid and i have to fill the dang thing all the time, when my mechanic put my driveshaft in he said it looked like it was coming from around the rod and pinion boot what can i do about this, and does that power steering fluid with the stop leak work very well..

Thanx

there's 3 lines basically, all end and plug into the steering column down under the a/c pump. i'd check those but its pretty hard with the p/s and a/c pump in the way. maybe look under the car, take off the large plastic piece covering up the bottom of the engine.

TAKE IT OFF!!! It steers alot nicer when it's gone, and I have a tiny steering wheel. Just make sure you plug up the holes on the rack so dirt doesn't get in there.

And if it's the pump buy a seal kit for about 30 bucks and rebuild it.

Talking

Any additive that claims to stop leaks is bad becaus eit will congregate on any rough surface within that system and build up to cause blockages
