    Recently replaced my rack and pinion, may have overfilled but keep noticing a leak coming from reservoir. Any thought? TIA!

    cut the hose off a 1/2 inch if possible and use a better clamp like for fuel injection as they clamp round

    Completely clean the reservoir, hoses and rack and pinion of any power steering fluid. Ensure that the reservoir shows the fluid level between Max and min.

    Start truck in driveway, have assistant turn wheel lock to lock left and right while you look for any leaks.

    Replace faulty component.

    Those rubber hoses get hard and thin underneath the clamp. Sometimes just moving the clamp to a new spot will help, if the rubber is still soft. Or cut some off like mentioned.. or replace the whole rubber line
