Question

Answer
Hi Connie:

It could be a hose leaking or worse a sterring gear it's self leaking. what year car is this the 99 and 2000 years were noted for hoses leaking a lot. if it's an older model there is a power steering cooler that would rot out and leak on the right side of the car. thta was really common on those older ones. without seeing it i can't tell you for sure. the steering gear is an expensive fix the hoses are relativly cheap repairs. Good luck :}
