a quick and easy way, go to napa and pick up a bottle of power steering dye and pour it into the ps pump. with a black lite bulb that you can pick up at any party or novility store replace it into your droplite. after the car is run a couple of minutes, you should be able to spot your leak. they also make dyes for engine oil, transmissions, antifreeze, and a/c systems. just use the right dye. is will cost you under 5.00$

Cressidas had a problem with the high pressure line leaking where the metal crimp meets the rubber hose near the pump. Replacing the high side line(s), and replacing the banjo bolt washers should fix the problem if that is where it is leaking from.

There is a cover on the bottom of your engine compartment. Take that off and you will see the pump pulley on your engine. The pressure hose is held on with a banjo bolt and the return line is clamped onto the top of the pump. It should take about two hours to do both lines. Hope this helps.
