A quick trawl through the web suggests this is a common problem. Solutions:
- Continue topping it up and polluting the environment (if I can find where the reservoir is, me not being a mechanical type)
- Find the leak and replace the damaged part - ie dismantle the whole front of the car and pull the pump out through the headlamp hole (not on my budget!)
- Try one of those fluids that blocks leaks.
[Edit 10 July 2012 ...
The leak was on the steering rack, not just the pump. I bought a new (ie refurbished) steering rack, but never got round to putting it on (long story) and have no scrapped the car but still have a spare steering rack.
So: if you need a Ford KA power steering rack, I am open to offers if you are willing to collect. Leave a comment with your email address and I will contact you to giving approximate location (this is supposed to be an anonymous blog) and we'll take it form there.]
