Power Steering Fluid spraying everywhere
For a while I've had a leak but couldn't find it but finally found it. In the attached picture it's coming from the backside of the pump thing that has 5 metal hoses attached to it next to the power steering fluid reservoir. I would just like to know what that pump part is called so I can go replace it and be done with this mystery. Thank you in advance!
It's from a 1999 V6 3800 if that matters

That honestly looks like transmission fluid more than anything. But, if you've been filling your power steering fluid up because it's been leaking, it's not coming from that box. That's the ABS/TC module. I would say there's either a crack in the reservoir or the pump is sling shotting it out.

Yeah nevermind. I thought it was coming from the backside of that box but it actually sprays up from one of the power steering hoses that's underneath the power steering reservoir. It looks like it just goes from the engine/pump and makes a 180 to the front axle. It seems to be a rubber hose with metal ends and it's spraying from a very small pinhole. It only sprays when there's a load on the pump. I wonder how much it'll cost to replace that damn hose

Awesome. Thank you for the link. Looks like it'll be the pressure side. Still cheaper than what I was thinking. And of course because I was trying to figure out what that damn box was yesterday, I disconnected the hoses to find a part number to no avail. This morning I went to move the car and no brakes :O and now knowing it's the ABS/TC module, it makes sense and now I need to bleed my brakes :/
