You need to see where it's leaking and then we can solve the mystery

SOURCE: Suddenly leaking power steering fluid, reservoir empty

The best bet is its trans oil. The gearbox has crushable washers/gaskets, the bolts may just need to be tightened slightly to crush the gasket and seal.

Make sure you check your power steering fluid... if it's even low, it will make a terrible noise...run it on empty too long and your can ruin your power steering pump.

SOURCE: Where is the Power steering Fluid located?

This is what it looks like:

THERE IS NO CAP TO FILL IT LIKE NORMAL POWER STEERING SYSTEMS. IT HAS TO BE SERVICED FROM THE INLET HOSE.

  1. Fill pump with hydraulic fluid through intake line. Turn the pulley/shaft by hand until fluid comes out of pressure port.
Look underneath the car up at the driver's side of the car above your tie rods (or look at it from above). It is mounted to your steering gear.

Ford 1993 Taurus steering

Have you checked the power steering fluid level? The reservoir for the fluid will be at the front of the engine, where the belt runs the power steering pump. If it's low or out add a little power steering fluid till full, then start car and slowly turn wheels back and forth from stop to stop-not too ******* the stops (when the steering won't turn further that way...that's what I mean by stops)....Turn wheel one way full travel, then reverse and turn the other way. Check the fluid level again, and add as needed.
If fluid is not low, the belt may be too loose to make the power steering pump work, or you may have a bigger problem that needs professional attewntion.

Loud roaring from front right side goes away during a left curve then comes back when you straghten up

This is caused by a bad wheel bearing. to locate the right wheel jack the front wheels up and check for the wheel being loose, or with car jacked up in the air with front wheel off the ground put it in drive and see if you can listen for the noise, you may be right with the right front but just double check, good luck, hope this is helpful.

After driving over 60 mph, steering gets difficult. On slight turns in that speed on the freeway, steering starts to **** then gets loose, constantly. What should I do?

Check your power steering fluid when hot. If that's ok, then I would suspect the belt slipping. Check the condition of the serpentine belt. If it's loose or shows signs of wear or aging, replace it with a new one.

Power steering pump froze and threw the belt. had the pump replaced and still no power steering. do not know if the system was purged. what else could it be? rich 1993 chrysler fifth ave. 3.3 eng.

Check the fluid for any contaminants and for proper level. Jack up the entire front end so that both front wheels are clear of the ground. Start the engine and let idle. Turn the steering wheel from stop to stop a number of times to circulate the ps fluid through the hoses, steering valves, and cylinder. Keep checking the fluid level while doing this. With luck, this will restore ps function.

Where's the turn signal relay?

It's under the steering colum. Pull the plate off under the steering wheel and the relay is connected there. There are sites online that will show you a diagram
