My '87 Westy was parked for a couple of months awaiting repairs to the cooling system. I recently started it up to move it forward one space and it immediately dumped a large amount of PS fluid. It left an incredible mess in my driveway. I haven't crawled under it yet to look at the source of the leak, but it appears to be near the ps pump. I never had it leak a single drop of ps fluid prior to this. What is likely to be leaking? I'm guessing a hose, because I've read about leaks in the ps hose being a common problem on older vans. How much are these hoses to repair or replace? Could I clamp in a piece of tubing at the leak spot?
