There is a leak in the power steering return pipe. I was thinking of removing it, but today when I jacked up the car, I couldn't see a clear area where the joint would be and where to get a wrench in to work on it. Looking at the the line there is a brace/bracked on the driver side onto which the swaybar bushing is bolted on. The power steering line looks like it's above this brace...(my digicam not working right now or else I coud post a pic). to get access to the return pipe, it looks like I would have to remove this bracket/brace, but I am not sure what it's supporting and don't want to cause another problem trying to remove the return pipe. The part number for the return pipe is 53720-s3m-a50 (looks like the part for the manual tranny is different than the auto tranny). Here's a link to the schematic of the power steering system. The part in 005. http://parts.sonsacura.com/showAssem...roduct=1574138. Is this something that would be relatively easy to do with the car on jackstands?

I was having a hard time yesterday looking at the Helms and looking at the car and seeing where everything is. The part in question is the metal line to the right of the return hose by the steering column. It's a pretty tight area to work in.
