Hey guys, I need some help! i have a 99 Z28, and over time it developed a slow power steering leak. All at once, it turned into a major leak. I did some snooping around today, and here's the symptoms: it only leaks (noticably) when under load, i.e., i have the wheels off the ground, and crank it hard over. I could see it leaking from just under the PS pump, so i replaced it this morning.

I thought I was done, put everything back together, and still a leak.. but now it appears to be coming from where the steering wheel linkage goes into the rack and pinion. is this likely, or a common occurance? If so, i need some help getting that thing outta there, I am having trouble seeing how the rack and pinion are mounted to the chasis, because of the skidplate that is covering most of it. anyway, any advice would be great!
