Default Still having power steering fluid leaking problems..
I replaced the clamps of the large tube at the top where it connects to the resevoir and at the bottom where it connects to the steering pump. However it is still leaking fluid, I noticed there is dried fluid at the top of my resevoir. Why would fluid leak out of the resevoir? It's not filled all the way to the top, just to the 2nd line where it says max. Any other suggestions? TIA.

Default wash it down really good with degreaser or simple green and then see where it leaks...
How quickly is it leaking?

Default Then it shouldn't be too hard to find. :-)
Clean it up and, fill with fluid and then start 'er up and watch for a wet spot.

Quick question: is there an easy way to drain/refill the power steering fluid?
