My son tells me last night at 9:30PM that the power steering went out on our 1992 245. I asked him what happened and he said there was no fluid in the reservoir and he saw a puddle of fluid under the car when he was driving it around.

Of course it is now 7 degrees outside, so I'm not looking forward to dealing with this. Any suggestions for the most likely places that the fluid could have left?

Seems like the hard metal line on the steering rack itself is one possibility.
Also perhaps the fluid reservoir or a pressure hose?

We've done so much work on the car the past year or two, it is discouraging that the thing continues to have problems.

On the bright side, the used automatic transmission my son installed in October/November is running great!

Stay warm my friends.
