my ps pump started making a noise when i turned the wheel parked or at slow speed today. check the res. and it was a little low, about a 1/2 inch below the min mark. jacked up the car and i see 2 leaks. Any ideas on the fix? thanks

thanks for the link. going to check it out tonight, it is up on jackstands in my garage. would the steering feel a little loose if the fluid was a little low or if the rack blew a seal?
