my power steering fluid is leaking a little bit....if i were to add a little transmission stop leak/ sealer fluid to my ps fluid would it stop it or would it even do anything?

It might have a little bit of an effect...only if it's a seal going bad. But it would only be a band-aid and be worse the next go round. What/where is it leaking from?

Well find where the leak is coming from...shouldn't be too difficult, it's more than likely gonna be a hose (either worn through or a fitting) or the pump (cracked).

So it was the hoses that caused the leak? Is it at the fitting, or was there actual wear somewhere on the hose?

How hard is it to rebuild the pump? Mine whines real bad and figure it is on the way out. Rebuild kits are cheaper than new pump, but is it worth the hassel?
