not gushing or anything but wet spots on my garage floor.. Steering seems fine although i hear a little groaning when engine is still cold.

I've inquired some locals shops and almost collapse upon hearing what it takes $$$$ to fix it. Is this a DIY type job you think?

Since it's only dripping a bit and not gushing, do you think its still got some life before it dies completely on me? Power steering fluid level doesn't really drop significantly..

Any opinion?

Have you checked all hoses and the big ( + ) plug on top of the PS pump?

1. local shop verified it today but then again they prolly just want my money.

2. the boot is torn and is wet with fluid.

will double check again.

I hope it's something small, PS rack replacement is one of the S-cars owners worst nightmare.

the rack was shot, the bellows were cracked and the seals inside the rack were shot. at the time i only have the dealer replace the rack. after that 2 miles down the road my power steering went out. the new rack was too much for a failing PS pump. so now its been about a month, finally am taking it back to the dealer for them to replace the pump and the hi pressure hose too since that has a leak also. it's gunna be about $1,100 from the dealer for the rack. and the pump replacement is going to be close to a grand. i hate this car at the moment. hopefully after it gets fixed i'll want to keep it. as of now i am looking at a real nice '96 993 TwinTurbo Porsche, its gunna be a steal, cause i know the guy. anyways good luck its pricey, but remember to "DO BOTH THE PUMP AND RACK AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU DO CHANGE OUT THE RACK, SAVE ON SOME OF THE LABOR."

If you hate your S4 cause of a 2100 dollar repair, you need to re-think a 993TT
