The power steering pump is at the driver side, FYI. There are two hoses connected to it. One leads to the rack and pinion and the other one leads to the power steering fluid container.

i know its on the driver side and i can follow the hose to a point but then it gets tight and dark. i need to use a flash light [img]graemlins/twak.gif[/img] . but thanks, now i know theres only two hoses :D

the two hoses on the pass. side are for your heater core. they have coolant run through them at all times. I blew the crap out of one of them once, a plastic fitting at WOT exploded on me. connected the two broken ends with a larger piece of rubber hose.

oh, those white caps are a PITA to get off. you gotta like twist them 1/4 turn, the pull on a weird angle and wiggle......

the only reason im asking is cause if i barely touch the hose, coolant seeps out of them. not the best seal.

You can't see the end of the pressure hose for the power steering pump unless you get under the car and look behind the pulley. I just changed mine yesterday. By taking the belt off I was able to get a wrench on it, (barely). $12 at autozone,

what was $12?

These are from your heater core.
