I've got a really annoying steering fluid leek on my 2.0 GTV. Doesn't seem too bad but leaves unsightly small stains wherever i park it. have to make sure i top it up with a small amount of fluid once a week.
Is this a common fault on the GTV as i've had it about a month and didn't spot it when i bought it and does anybody have any ideas where it could be coming from?

Don't think its a common fault; I for one have never heard of it specifically on the GTV.

As to where its leaking from, you'll have to get it up in the air and have a look-see whilst somebody turns the wheels. Could be the pump or maybe a worn rack?

My GTV 3.0 also has had a leak(for many years). It doesn't drip, just looks damp on a certain component when the car was up having its service. Its been OK for the last few years and the technician seem unconcerned.
