So I just picked up this car the other night and I noticed that both the coolant and power steering are empty..I filled both and started it up.
As soon as I did the power steering started to leak like crazy and just after that the coolant started to leak.. I found where both are coming from however I need to know why is the hose so close to the belt? It seemed as if the belt rubbed a hole in it,the hole I could put my finger in.
And the power steering is there a way a way to repair this or no,I have to buy a new setup?IMG_4614.jpgIMG_4613.jpg
I'd say the pump is toast and will need to be replaced
As for the coolant hose, it's possible the belt is stretched or the wrong size and the power steering pump is abnormally close to the hose to tension it

Start by checking your motor and transmission mounts. It's likely they're in poor shape allowing the engine to shift position.

I did not even think about the mounts. I will check that out, it would be great if I could find someone with the same car to verify how it sits correctly while working.
