Leaking Mini Cooper S power steering
 

I've noticed for a month or so now that the power steering pump is leaking and was confirmed by my indi. I read numerous threads with people saying they have had noise and some saying they have had intermittent power assist steering. I haven't had any of the issues as other people and is my indi. correct that it is the pump and not a hose?

If you cant confirm otherwise you will have to trust him.
That being said the return and feed hoses to the res are a very common leak.
