Hi guys

Some of you knows that lastly I bought this car .
in the morning I saw under the car a red oil fluid
obviously leaking from the steering wheel , all the gear box wet from oil .

I run the car and round the steering wheel ... I think the leaking come from the upper assembly , steering fluid hose connected to it .
(see the attached photo )

what do you think ?
Can I fix it alone ? I need new o-ring ?

Like . . . onto the carpet and driver's seat?

The pictures don't show me enough to understand what's going on with the current description.

If that's the high pressure side it could be a cracked line or fitting. It's not coming out of the pump?

I will check inside the car .
It's look like from the Hydroboost .

On the hydroboost, on the mounting face facing the master cylinder, there is a small weep hole to allow leaking fluids (brake or power steering) to leak out instead of building up pressure.

Leaking from hydroboost weep hole for sure .

Don't rebuild it. Buy a remanufactured one.

I was looking for the exploded view in Mitchell and they don't even have the hydroboost in there.
Weird.

There is any probability that is the leaking from the accumulator ?
After replacing the seals , how can check if the unit is ok ?
