Ford KA power steering fluid leak

Opened the bonnet to hunt for the power steering fluid reservoir top up hole, expecting it to be a long hunt for a vague and dirty nut somewhere impossible to reach. The furst thing I see is a clean black lid with a picture of a yellow steering wheel and the bright yellow words "power steering fluid". I guess that might be what I'm looking for then! Someone needs to lift his bonnet more often!

[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.]
