Squirting out P/S Fluid.

[J30vtec01]

My 2001 accord v6 has recently been grinding and whining from the power steering belt/pump area and this morning I tried to check the fluid and its squirts like a fountain! I looked at the fluid while turning the wheel and it keeps doing that and now its very hard to turn. Power steering pump? Tension pulleys? clogged lines? can you guys give me suggestions thanks.

For me it was a leak in the reservoir, i forgot to put it back in its place one time and the belt "sanded" the reservoir down until it leaked, i fixed it wit some plastic weld from autozone.

Yeah and now power steering fluid is every where! but could it be a hole in the reservoir?

Check the pump and the reservoir. Have someone turn the steering wheel while your looking for the leak to see which one is leaking. Then replace as needed.
