Default Power Steering Problem

Im trying to figure out what the name of the part that i have leak from. The part that is leaking is underneath at the bottom of the car. The line when you take this screw out drops down and its kinda zig zag and a it looks like it might go into the pump and then follow up and go into where you pour the power steering at. I need to know the name of this part.... and how much does it normally go for???

Default Ambiguity is your enemy.

That description is really ambiguous. If you don't have a picture or diagram of the part you're asking about, you should give some other helpful clues such as any symptoms present (noises, differences in performance) the type, color, odor of the fluid that is leaking and if the fluid level was low in any of the fluid reservoirs. Giving the correct information (give it all, even if it sounds inconsequential to you) will help you get better answers here, but it'll also help make sure that the vehicle gets properly diagnosed at the dealer. These cars break a lot. You'll get plenty of practice. For this situation you should probably figure out what fluid you're losing, make sure the related reservoir is full and take it to a Dealer or mechanic. Regardless of what fluid it is, there are several places that they can each leak from and prohibit any kind of accurate online diagnosis. Be ready to spend about $1000.00. If it's more, it'll be disappointing, but it's better than planning on spending $50.00 and getting a $1500.00 bill. If it's less, good for you.

Default Power steering fluid?

Sounds like the power steering reservoir and it's leaking onto the power steering cooler. Could be wrong though. I'd take it to the shop.
