Hi ydz,

Sounds like it's pumping out a lot of fluid..

There is something else that happens periodically, The fittin\gs on the hi pressure hoses get loose. Happened to me the first week of Summer.

All I had to do was tighten them back up, add some more fluid and drive away.

If this is not the case, the leaking component does need to be replaced.

Best regards
Mike

Use a degreaser to clean the pump and hoses, then start the engine and you should then be able to see exactly what is leaking to then determine what to replace.
I hope this helps and good luck.

I have a 2000 Escalade and it's leaking a bit of antifreeze and I can't visually see where it's coming from but seems to be from the front end of the motor. It's not the radiator or any of the main v

I would take a look at the water pump. There is a weep hole on the water pump to indicate if the seals are going bad inside the water pump. This hole is located on the top of the water pump where the pulley mounts to it. If this is not the problem, then it could be a number of other problems.

I would check the following items, which I have listed in sequence of cost to repair.

1. check hoses and clamps, if leaking you should see areas that have build up of dried antifreeze.
2. check thermostat housing on top of intake where upper radiator hose connects to engine.
3. verify radiator is not leaking
4. intake gasket leaking
5. head gasket leaking

Power sterring hose leaks. how is hose connected to pump

Most of the PS pressure hoses are Compression Fittings. If the fitting is straight on and is clean on the inside before you seated the hose, there may be a burr of the pump side where the fitting sits. Some of these fittings are replaceable and others require a new pump. Check your new hose also for cracks where the pipe section of the hose is that looks sort of like a trumpet end. If the fitting is in good shape, the pump fitting is clean and unmarred, you may need to tighten the hose a little more.

Power sterring pump?

If you have checked the belt (it still has one that is) the grinding noise will be the pump but the loss of fluid could also be the steering rack at fault, try to find out where its leaking from
