Default power steering
my little brother rear ended someone in our 92 olds toronado trofeo and
everything under the headlights is dented up, but the car still runs
fine. However since the accident i've noticed a small drip of power
steering fluid dripping from the front spoiler/ground effect on the nose
of the car. What power steering componet would be located on the lower
front porthon of the engine that could have been damaged? I cant find
where exactly its leaking from but my pump was empty this morning.
Please help
car has 3.8 v6

Some cars have a Power Steering Fluid Cooler in that location. Some are
just a length of metal tubing run across the front frame. others have a
finned "mini"-radiator. Follow the hoses and tubing to/from the pump.
and see if you find such a thing.
