   I've had my saxo lowered now for well over a year at -60mm and recently read how the power steering pipe can rub away and eventually leak pas fluid everywhere!
   
   I searched and can't find any pictures, can anyone upload a photo showing me where the pas pipe is and where to bend please?
   
   Thanks,
   Ant

   Open bonnet - as you are facing the engine bay look at the back left hand side behind the inlet. You will see the brake linkage cross bar and the track rods attached to the steering rack. Follow the drivers side track rod and you will see a pipe, about 8-10mm thick near to it. Bend it out of the way gently, you should be able to see where it has been rubbing if you look closely.
