hello i have a my95 WRX and have the same problem, apparently you cant fix this leak without replacing the power steering bottle anyway so as long as its not gushing out just top it up, i top mine up every 3 - 6 months - you need ATM (automatic transmission fluid), your local car place will more than likely have it!

hope this helps!

cheers

Mickey

i think you need a new rubber seal? the guy i bought mine off said he had the same problem, and bought a new 'O' ring seal, and used some sealant and it seems to be ok now!

as the last chap said should just be the o-ring that needs replacing .just drain the res undo three bolts and slide it off the pipe also you might want to replace the small pipe as this quite often becomes very hard and may also leak a little its an easy job if you've got the res out.
