Yesterday night I found some clear oily liquid under my car. It has a similar odor to supercharger oil, but only 1/100th the stink. I believe this is power steering fluid, as it's been acting up a little bit.

How hard is this to change in our cars (1999 G/P GTP), and what would you guestimate the amount of time this will take to do?

My guess is it's the steering rack, which IMO wasn't very hard to change on my car. Took about 2 hours taking our time on a lift.

If it's the pump i know someone that has a used one (ilikebmx) and i also just changed one of those, it was a piece of cake. I had some stuff out of the way cause i was doing my LIM gaskets at the same time but it still would have been pretty easy.

Yea biggest headache was getting that bolt back in for the column. Other than that swapping the rack wasn't too bad.
