rate. 
Basically, pour in fluid, watch it drip/gush onto pavement.  I can't
tell 
exactly where it's coming from.  Looking at side of car, it puddles just
in 
front and behind the fr. wheel/axle plane.  That could be an anomaly
from 
fluid traveling from elsewhere a la oil on a string.

History: new steering rack 10 mos. ago; new upper and lower hose 1 mo.
ago.

I'm guessing w/age & mileage that the pump is toast.  Anyone? >>

Can you see it coming out of the pump? I would suspect the high pressure
hose to the bomb. That one bit me but good. Changed the two PS Rack
hoses and thought I was done. Filled up the reservoir and fired up the
car and it was spewing green gold all over the place. Problem was the
brake bomb HP hose. HTH
