Even the best mechanic can't properly help diagnose over the internet without accurate descriptions, pictures (not entirely necessary, but extremely helpful), and lots of info.

If ATF is leaking out of a tube, then yes. Replace said tube.

My powersteering leaks too... :(
I had a power steering line crack and puke, so I replaced the every PS line, and it still has a tiny leak! haha, my rack might be shot or one of the pressure lines might not be properly fastened to the rack, still looking into this! It leaks from the driver's side rack boot.

Sorry to continue the hijack! lol.

My power steering fluid was leaking as well from what I believed to be the pressure hose. I replaced that one and guess what, my boots on my rack are so worn that fluid is also squirting from my rack whenever I turn. :aigo:
