Well crap. Noticed my trusty ole, 600 miles and got it 6 days ago, Bullitt #2276 has a leak of what appears to be power steering fluid. Noticed a stain on the ground when going to lunch today.

Has anyone else had this issue? Thought I read about this somewhere else, but can not find it.

Are you sure it came from your car? I think I remember reading about weeping from the brake fluid reservois but nothing about the power steering leaking. After reading a lot of these posts some of these cars seem more like my old Harleys than modern cars. BlackBullitt#1768

Not absolutely sure, but will find out when I get home and look in the garage. I know the floor was clean and dry last night.

Lets hope for another car leaking in my assigned parking spot at work.

Amen to that.We sure don't need anymore problems cropping up with our Bullitts!!!!BlackBullitt#1768

there is an issue with the powersteering lines leaking, I believe at the pump. Supposed to be Cobras also I believe.

Well, it is now 9:30 on Saturday night and the Bullitt has been put to bed for the night. So far I have not noticed any additional fluid leaking. Looks like someone was leaking in the same area as I parked. Phew!!!! What a relief...

donwil: After about 300-500 miles or so on #344 hubby noticed a dampness (no dripping on ground) on or around the pump. We took her into ford and they just replaced the power steering pump no problem! here is the thread: http://www.bullittclub.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=953&forum=9

I had my power steering pump replaced about 21/2 months ago. Power steering fluid was leeking like a civ after a long journey in the heat. After replacement haven't had a problem. It leaked like mad though, I wasn't a happy camper.

Well, guess what. The power steering pump (PSP) IS leaking after all. It only happens when driving the car in a FIRM manner. Don't want to say hard 'cause I am extremely careful with the RPMs and the tight turns. But after getting on it, no burning of rubber - tires cost too much, I parked the car and low and behold there is a puddle under the PSP area.

TwoStangWmn, thanks for the link to the PSP issue.
