I have a power steering fluid leak, looks like it's comming from the front drivers side corner of the oil pan. I'm going to get under there later today. Is there any common areas or connections to look for? It's a 93 auto 525I

Might be the copper crush washers or just tightening down either the pressure of feed side banjo bolts. You will need a 19mm and a 22mm wrench/socket for the job.

and new crush washers. Check your ps fluid level. check the adjusting leverler for the ps pump for drips forming there. My leak ended up being the pump's bracket bolts that double as holding the pump onto the brackets as well as keeping the pump's two halves tightly together. 13mm bolts there, I think 3 of them.
