Ok I think I have a power steering pump leak. Unless going through fluid is normal. Think I had to fill it twice last year. I dont see any leaking around the pump or at the back of the transom where it goes into the rams. I dont see any leaks in the bilge. Maybe its burning off on the block. Any insight here its a 454 pump is on starboard engine on the front, 91 fountain. Thinking about just replacing the pump but maybe its something else. Ideas things to look for.

Just had the same issue, well sort of. Mine was at the actuator the fed the rams. You shouldn't be going through power steering fluid. Are you losing it fast, slow???? If you have a slow leak, it may be hard to find.

Lucky guy, mine dumps all the fluid into the bilge in a matter of minutes ! I'm pretty sure it's the cooler but in my botched up installation it's a nightmare to get too.
