Loss of power steering fluid

[dando21]

Hi
Opened the garage this morning after I noticed a puddle of p/s fluid creeping under the door. Lifted rear clam and reservoir was completely empty. Leak appears to be where hydraulic pipes enter rack. Car was used last week no problem and reservoir was full. Any advice greatly appreciated as it will have to be a DIY fix.

This happened on mine turned out to be leaking from a joint in the pipe to a 90o elbow in the pipe from the power steering oil cooler, looked as if it was the rack.
Took the pipe off and had a local hydraulic pipe company re-crimp the ends.

A pipe came flying off my rack while walshy was on the lock stops at 6k rpm in 2nd, that was an exciting moment

Ended up getting a new pipe fitted by plans.

I lost all the PS fluid when my ps rad had a hole in it.

The first I new was when I wanted to go round a corner and discovered why Lee had decided power stearing was needed on the M12 !
