2002 Escape 2.0L 4-cyl w manual transmission. 65k miles. Good to very-good condition.
I have a bad power steering leak. It appears to be coming from the area of an electrical connector on the left side (driver's side) of the power steering pump, so I guess a pressure switch is leaking. Fluid squirts from there when the steering wheel is turned (note: the leak isn't a hose). The Chilton manual wasn't much help: it mentions a pressure switch for the V6 but no mention of one for the I-4.
Any suggestions? ... Thanks.
Rather than driving the car & risking burning up the pump, I had it towed to a garage.
